| 25 | This chapter provides an introduction to the Yocto | ||
| 26 | Project. | ||
| 27 | You will learn about features and challenges of the | ||
| 28 | Yocto Project, the layer model, components and tools, | ||
| 29 | development methods, the | ||
| 30 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#poky'>Poky</ulink> | ||

| 36 | This chapter helps you get started understanding the | ||
| 37 | Yocto Project development environment. | ||
| 38 | You will learn about open source, development hosts, | ||
| 39 | Yocto Project source repositories, workflows using Git | ||
| 40 | and the Yocto Project, a Git primer, and information | ||
| 41 | about licensing. | ||

| 57 | <emphasis>Step-by-step Instructions for Development Tasks:</emphasis> | ||
| 58 | Instructional procedures reside in other manuals within | ||
| 59 | the Yocto Project documentation set. | ||
| 60 | For example, the | ||
| 61 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;'>Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual</ulink> | ||
| 62 | provides examples on how to perform various development | ||
| 63 | tasks. | ||
| 64 | As another example, the | ||
| 65 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_SDK_URL;'>Yocto Project Application Development and the Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK)</ulink> | ||
| 66 | manual contains detailed instructions on how to install an | ||
| 67 | SDK, which is used to develop applications for target | ||
| 68 | hardware. | ||

| 71 | <emphasis>Reference Material:</emphasis> | ||
| 72 | This type of material resides in an appropriate reference | ||
| 73 | manual. | ||
| 74 | For example, system variables are documented in the | ||
| 75 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;'>Yocto Project Reference Manual</ulink>. | ||
| 76 | As another example, the | ||
| 77 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;'>Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's Guide</ulink> | ||

| 81 | <emphasis>Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the | ||
| 82 | Yocto Project:</emphasis> | ||
| 83 | For example, exhaustive information on how to use the | ||
| 84 | Source Control Manager Git is better covered with Internet | ||
| 85 | searches and official Git Documentation than through the | ||
| 86 | Yocto Project documentation. | ||
