| 11 | The Yocto Project presents the kernel as a fully patched, history-clean Git | ||
| 12 | repository. | ||
| 13 | The Git tree represents the selected features, board support, | ||
| 14 | and configurations extensively tested by Yocto Project. | ||
| 15 | The Yocto Project kernel allows the end user to leverage community | ||
| 16 | best practices to seamlessly manage the development, build and debug cycles. | ||

| 19 | This manual describes the Yocto Project kernel by providing information | ||
| 20 | on its history, organization, benefits, and use. | ||
| 21 | The manual consists of two sections: | ||
| 22 | <itemizedlist> | ||
| 23 | <listitem><para>Concepts - Describes concepts behind the kernel. | ||
| 24 | You will understand how the kernel is organized and why it is organized in | ||
| 25 | the way it is. You will understand the benefits of the kernel's organization | ||
| 26 | and the mechanisms used to work with the kernel and how to apply it in your | ||
| 27 | design process.</para></listitem> | ||
| 28 | <listitem><para>Using the Kernel - Describes best practices and "how-to" information | ||
| 29 | that lets you put the kernel to practical use. Some examples are "How to Build a | ||
| 30 | Project Specific Tree", "How to Examine Changes in a Branch", and "Saving Kernel | ||
| 31 | Modifications."</para></listitem> | ||
| 32 | </itemizedlist> | ||
