* documentation: Updates to cull out buried YP Website references.Scott Rifenbark2017-10-161-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | With the redoing of the YP website, it was decided that the manuals could only reference into the top-level and the top-level/documentation URLs of the website. I removed all references to areas such as projects (e.g. Toaster, VM, etc.) and any other URL that was not the top-level landing page or the documentation page.

| | | | | | | | | | The string in the manual revision table needed updated across the set except for the kernel-dev manual.

* kernel-dev: Eliminated "Generating Configuration Files" section.Scott Rifenbark2017-10-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This section was largely redundant now. The small things that did add value I placed in other areas of the chapter 2. One was a new section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained. Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Should have been two commits but I forgot to do them separately. 1. I updated the YP Compatible Program section. 2. I moved the "Configuring the Kernel" section from the dev-manual to the kernel-dev manual.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Updated the kernel development flow diagram to have an arrow from the repositories to the box that says you need to clone the kernel repository. Also, provided some wording changes in the end of the chapter.

| | | | | | | | | | | Bare clone setup is no longer recommended or necessary for traditional kernel development. All that is required is to clone the kernel Git repo locally.

* kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Kernel prep stepsScott Rifenbark2017-09-021-0/+124
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dev-manual had a place-holder section for getting the build host ready for using YP and then doing kernel development. This stuff is better suited for the actual kernel development manual. I moved the section. Moving created several broken links in the manual set that had to be fixed. In the dev-manual, I updated the introductory list to include the newly moved kernel stuff.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moved the "Patching the Kernel" section, which was in the dev-manual to the kernel-dev manual. During the move, renamed the section to "Using devtool to Patch the Kernel". This move bothered a lot of links so I had to fix them in various manuals.

* documentation: Moved devtool workflow to sdk manualScott Rifenbark2017-07-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The section on the devtool workflow in the dev-manual was 99% identical to what was in the sdk-manual. I have moved the workflow procedure from the old "Model" chapter of the dev-manual to be merged with what was in the sdk-manual. In truth, the only things added were a note about devtool not being exclusive to SDK development. The result of moving (deleting) this section was that the "model" chapter of the dev-manual went away. The devtool stuff, Quilt, devshell, and python shell are all out now and there is no chapter left. So, mega-manual had to be adjusted to not pull that chapter in when building the dev-manual. I had to delete three figures that were used in the flow. The figures were already replicated in the sdk-manual. The figures were deleted from the figures folder of both the dev-manual and the mega-manual. I had to make sure all references to the old devtool stuf in the YP doc set were adjusted.

I moved it and took care of all the links and external references throughout the YP doc set. One figure was involved that had to be moved to the figures folder in kernel-dev from dev-manual. That is why the Makefile had to be edited.
