* documentation: Updated everything for new overview-manualScott Rifenbark2018-05-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This involved changing the root manual folder from "getting-started" to "overview-manual". Also, every link using the ENTITY "YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL" was changed to "YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL". Most manuals had several occurrences of these links. The makefile needed updating to process the new manual and not process the old "getting-started" manual.

* documentation: Changed getting-started manual titlesScott Rifenbark2018-05-241-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Throughout the documentation, the manual "Getting Started With Yocto Project" was used. The manual now is called "Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual".

| | | | | | | | | | | Removed all the references to the top-level of the old concepts-manual. These references are references that do not have a "#" target. They just reference the manual in general.

* documentation: Purged the YP Quick Start references from YP setScott Rifenbark2018-05-241-6/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original Yocto Project Quick Start is being retired for the YP 2.5 release (sumo). I have purged all the various references from the YP manual set and replaced them with references to the appropriate doc. The references were mainly into the YP dev-manual for setting up the host or for building an image. There were a few references into the new "Yocto Project Quick Build" document for overviewing manual-type references.

* bsp-guide: Removed deprecated tool sectionsScott Rifenbark2018-03-251-17/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I took out the sections at the end of the manual that talked about the yocto-kernel tool. This tool is no longer maintained and there is no equivalent tool. I also fixed the yocto-bsp tool to be the bitbake-layers tool. This involved some consolidation of sections. I fixed some links in the kernel-dev and toaster-manual.

* 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.

* 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.

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.

* 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.
