11 The Yocto Project presents the kernel as a fully patched, history-clean Git
12 repository.
13 The Git tree represents the selected features, board support,
14 and configurations extensively tested by Yocto Project.
15 The Yocto Project kernel allows the end user to leverage community
16 best practices to seamlessly manage the development, build and debug cycles.

19 This manual describes the Yocto Project kernel by providing information
20 on its history, organization, benefits, and use.
21 The manual consists of two sections:
22 <itemizedlist>
23 <listitem><para>Concepts - Describes concepts behind the kernel.
24 You will understand how the kernel is organized and why it is organized in
25 the way it is. You will understand the benefits of the kernel's organization
26 and the mechanisms used to work with the kernel and how to apply it in your
27 design process.</para></listitem>
28 <listitem><para>Using the Kernel - Describes best practices and "how-to" information
29 that lets you put the kernel to practical use. Some examples are "How to Build a
30 Project Specific Tree", "How to Examine Changes in a Branch", and "Saving Kernel
31 Modifications."</para></listitem>
