9 WRITER NOTE: The goal of this manual is to provide an over-arching development guide for using the Yocto Project. 9 Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Manual!
10 The intent is to give the reader the “big picture” around development. 10 This manual gives you an idea of how to use the Yocto Project to develop embedded Linux
11 Much of the information in the manual will be detailed in other manuals. 11 images and user-space applications to run on targeted devices.
12 For example, detailed information on Git, repositories and open-source in general can be found in many places. 12 Reading this manual gives you an overview of image, kernel, and user-space application development
13 Another example is getting set up to use the Yocto Project, which our Yocto Project Quick Start covers. 13 using the Yocto Project.
14 However, this manual needs to at least address it. 14 Because much of the information in this manual is general, it contains many references to other
15 One might ask “What becomes of the Poky Reference Manual?” 15 sources where you can find more detail.

17 eventually ends up in an appropriate guide. 17 Another example is how to get set up to use the Yocto Project, which our Yocto Project Quick Start covers.
