45 | <emphasis>Step-by-step Instructions for Development Tasks:</emphasis> | ||
46 | Instructional procedures reside in other manuals within | ||
47 | the Yocto Project documentation set. | ||
48 | For example, the | ||
49 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;'>Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual</ulink> | ||
50 | provides examples on how to perform various development | ||
51 | tasks. | ||
52 | As another 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 | ||

62 | For example, system variables are documented in the | ||

69 | <emphasis>Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the | ||
70 | Yocto Project:</emphasis> | ||
71 | For example, exhaustive information on how to use the | ||
72 | Source Control Manager Git is better covered with Internet | ||
73 | searches and official Git Documentation than through the | ||
74 | Yocto Project documentation. | ||
