12 Welcome to the Yocto Project Concepts Manual!
13 This manual provides conceptual information that helps you
14 better understand the Yocto Project.
15 You can learn about Yocto Project components,
16 cross-development toolchain generation, shared-state cache,
17 and many other concepts.

23 <listitem><para>
24 <emphasis>Complete Step-by-step Instructions for Development Tasks:</emphasis>
25 Instructional procedures reside in other manuals within
26 the Yocto Project documentation set.
27 For example, the
28 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;'>Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual</ulink>
29 provides examples on how to perform various development
30 tasks.
31 As another example, the
32 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_SDK_URL;'>Yocto Project Application Development and the Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK)</ulink>
33 manual contains detailed instructions on how to install an
34 SDK, which is used to develop applications for target
35 hardware.

37 <listitem><para>
38 <emphasis>Reference Material:</emphasis>
39 This type of material resides in an appropriate reference
40 manual.
41 For example, system variables are documented in the
42 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;'>Yocto Project Reference Manual</ulink>.
43 As another example, the
44 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;'>Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's Guide</ulink>
45 contains reference information on BSPs.

54 <emphasis>Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the
55 Yocto Project:</emphasis>
56 For example, exhaustive information on how to use Git
57 is better covered with Internet searches and official
58 Git Documentation than through the Yocto Project
59 documentation.

70 concepts, supplemental information is recommended for full
71 comprehension.
