696 The <ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;/projects/hob'>Hob</ulink> is a graphical user interface for the Yocto
697 Project build system based on BitBake.
698 You can use the Hob to build custom operating system images within the Yocto Project build environment.
699 Hob simply provides a friendly interface over the build system used during system development.
700 In other words, building images with the Hob lets you take care of common Yocto Project build tasks more easily.
