- The Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual
- **********************************************
- Welcome
- =======
- Welcome to the Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual! This manual
- introduces the Yocto Project by providing concepts, software overviews,
- best-known-methods (BKMs), and any other high-level introductory
- information suitable for a new Yocto Project user.
- Here is what you can get from this manual:
- - :ref:`overview-manual/yp-intro:introducing the yocto project`\ *:*
- This chapter provides an introduction to the Yocto Project. You will learn
- about features and challenges of the Yocto Project, the layer model,
- components and tools, development methods, the
- :term:`Poky` reference distribution, the
- OpenEmbedded build system workflow, and some basic Yocto terms.
- - :ref:`overview-manual/development-environment:the yocto project development environment`\ *:*
- This chapter helps you get started understanding the Yocto Project
- development environment. You will learn about open source, development hosts,
- Yocto Project source repositories, workflows using Git and the Yocto
- Project, a Git primer, and information about licensing.
- - :doc:`/overview-manual/concepts` *:* This
- chapter presents various concepts regarding the Yocto Project. You
- can find conceptual information about components, development,
- cross-toolchains, and so forth.
- This manual does not give you the following:
- - *Step-by-step Instructions for Development Tasks:* Instructional
- procedures reside in other manuals within the Yocto Project
- documentation set. For example, the :doc:`/dev-manual/index`
- provides examples on how to perform
- various development tasks. As another example, the
- :doc:`/sdk-manual/index` manual contains detailed
- instructions on how to install an SDK, which is used to develop
- applications for target hardware.
- - *Reference Material:* This type of material resides in an appropriate
- reference manual. For example, system variables are documented in the
- :doc:`/ref-manual/index`. As another
- example, the :doc:`/bsp-guide/index` contains reference information on
- BSPs.
- - *Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the Yocto Project:* For
- example, exhaustive information on how to use the Source Control
- Manager Git is better covered with Internet searches and official Git
- Documentation than through the Yocto Project documentation.
- Other Information
- =================
- Because this manual presents information for many different topics,
- supplemental information is recommended for full comprehension. For
- additional introductory information on the Yocto Project, see the
- :yocto_home:`Yocto Project Website <>`. If you want to build an image
- with no knowledge of Yocto Project as a way of quickly testing it out,
- see the :doc:`/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index` document.
- For a comprehensive list of links and other documentation, see the
- ":ref:`Links and Related
- Documentation <resources-links-and-related-documentation>`"
- section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
