| 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 |

| 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. |
| 18 | A good example of information perfect for the Poky Reference Manual is the appendix on variable | 18 | </para> |
