<section id='concepts-overview-welcome'>
<title>Welcome</title>
<para>
Welcome to the Yocto Project Concepts Manual!
This manual provides conceptual information that helps you
better understand the Yocto Project.
You can learn about Yocto Project components,
cross-development toolchain generation, shared-state cache,
and many other concepts.
</para>
<para>
This manual does not give you the following:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>Complete Step-by-step Instructions for Development Tasks:</emphasis>
Instructional procedures reside in other manuals within
the Yocto Project documentation set.
For example, the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;'>Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual</ulink>
provides examples on how to perform various development
tasks.
As another example, the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_SDK_URL;'>Yocto Project Application Development and the Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK)</ulink>
manual contains detailed instructions on how to install an
SDK, which is used to develop applications for target
hardware.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>Reference Material:</emphasis>
This type of material resides in an appropriate reference
manual.
For example, system variables are documented in the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;'>Yocto Project Reference Manual</ulink>.
As another example, the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;'>Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's Guide</ulink>
contains reference information on BSPs.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>Getting Started Material:</emphasis>
This type of material resides in the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL;'>Getting Started With Yocto Project Manual</ulink>.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the
Yocto Project:</emphasis>
For example, exhaustive information on how to use Git
is better covered with Internet searches and official
Git Documentation than through the Yocto Project
documentation.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
</section>
<section id='concepts-overview-other-information'>
<title>Other Information</title>
<para>
Because this manual presents information for many different
concepts, supplemental information is recommended for full
comprehension.
For additional introductory information on the Yocto Project, see
the <ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;'>Yocto Project Website</ulink>.
You can find an introductory to using the Yocto Project by working
through the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_QS_URL;'>Yocto Project Quick Start</ulink>.
</para>
<para>
For a comprehensive list of links and other documentation, see the
"<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#resources-links-and-related-documentation'>Links and Related Documentation</ulink>"
section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
