165 | <title>Introducing the Yocto Project Development Environment</title> | ||
166 | |||
167 | <para> | ||
168 | The Yocto Project through the OpenEmbedded build system provides an | ||
169 | open source development environment targeting the ARM, MIPS, | ||
170 | PowerPC, and x86 architectures for a variety of platforms | ||
171 | including x86-64 and emulated ones. | ||
172 | You can use components from the Yocto Project to design, develop, | ||
173 | build, debug, simulate, and test the complete software stack using | ||
174 | Linux, the X Window System, GTK+ frameworks, and Qt frameworks. | ||

185 | Here are some highlights for the Yocto Project: | ||
186 | </para> | ||
187 | |||
188 | <itemizedlist> | ||
189 | <listitem><para> | ||
190 | Provides a recent Linux kernel along with a set of system | ||
191 | commands and libraries suitable for the embedded | ||
192 | environment. | ||
193 | </para></listitem> | ||
194 | <listitem><para> | ||
195 | Makes available system components such as X11, GTK+, Qt, | ||
196 | Clutter, and SDL (among others) so you can create a rich user | ||
197 | experience on devices that have display hardware. | ||
198 | For devices that do not have a display or where you wish to | ||
199 | use alternative UI frameworks, these components need not be | ||
200 | installed. | ||
201 | </para></listitem> | ||
202 | <listitem><para> | ||
203 | Creates a focused and stable core compatible with the | ||
204 | OpenEmbedded project with which you can easily and reliably | ||
205 | build and develop. | ||
206 | </para></listitem> | ||
207 | <listitem><para> | ||
208 | Fully supports a wide range of hardware and device emulation | ||
209 | through the Quick EMUlator (QEMU). | ||
210 | </para></listitem> | ||
211 | <listitem><para> | ||
212 | Provides a layer mechanism that allows you to easily extend | ||
213 | the system, make customizations, and keep them organized. | ||
214 | </para></listitem> | ||
215 | </itemizedlist> | ||
216 | |||
217 | <para> | ||
218 | You can use the Yocto Project to generate images for many kinds | ||
219 | of devices. | ||
220 | As mentioned earlier, the Yocto Project supports creation of | ||
221 | reference images that you can boot within and emulate using QEMU. | ||
222 | The standard example machines target QEMU full-system | ||
223 | emulation for 32-bit and 64-bit variants of x86, ARM, MIPS, and | ||
224 | PowerPC architectures. | ||
225 | Beyond emulation, you can use the layer mechanism to extend | ||
226 | support to just about any platform that Linux can run on and that | ||
227 | a toolchain can target. | ||
228 | </para> | ||
229 | |||
230 | <para> | ||
231 | Another Yocto Project feature is the Sato reference User | ||
232 | Interface. | ||
233 | This optional UI that is based on GTK+ is intended for devices with | ||
234 | restricted screen sizes and is included as part of the | ||
235 | OpenEmbedded Core layer so that developers can test parts of the | ||
236 | software stack. | ||
