13 | Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual! | ||
14 | This manual provides relevant procedures necessary for developing | ||
15 | in the Yocto Project environment (i.e. developing embedded Linux | ||
16 | images and user-space applications that run on targeted devices). | ||
17 | The manual groups related procedures into higher-level sections. | ||
18 | Procedures can consist of high-level steps or low-level steps | ||
19 | depending on the topic. | ||

23 | This manual provides the following: | ||
24 | <itemizedlist> | ||
25 | <listitem><para> | ||
26 | Procedures that help you get going with the Yocto Project. | ||
27 | For example, procedures that show you how to set up | ||
28 | a build host and work with the Yocto Project | ||
29 | source repositories. | ||
30 | </para></listitem> | ||
31 | <listitem><para> | ||
32 | Procedures that show you how to submit changes to the | ||
33 | Yocto Project. | ||
34 | Changes can be improvements, new features, or bug | ||
35 | fixes. | ||

37 | <listitem><para> | ||
38 | Procedures related to "everyday" tasks you perform while | ||
39 | developing images and applications using the Yocto | ||
40 | Project. | ||
41 | For example, procedures to create a layer, customize an | ||
42 | image, write a new recipe, and so forth. | ||

51 | Redundant Step-by-step Instructions: | ||
52 | For example, the | ||
53 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_SDK_URL;'>Yocto Project Application Development and the Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK)</ulink> | ||
54 | manual contains detailed instructions on how to install an | ||
55 | SDK, which is used to develop applications for target | ||
56 | hardware. | ||

59 | Reference or Conceptual Material: | ||
60 | This type of material resides in an appropriate reference | ||

65 | <listitem><para> | ||
66 | Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the | ||
67 | Yocto Project: | ||
68 | For example, exhaustive information on how to use the | ||
69 | Source Control Manager Git is better covered with Internet | ||
70 | searches and official Git Documentation than through the | ||
71 | Yocto Project documentation. | ||

81 | Because this manual presents information for many different | ||
82 | topics, supplemental information is recommended for full | ||
83 | comprehension. | ||

86 | If you want to build an image with no knowledge of Yocto Project | ||
87 | as a way of quickly testing it out, see the | ||
