<title>Yocto Project Kernel Architecture and Use Manual</title>
<section id='book-intro'>
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
The Yocto Project presents the kernel as a fully patched, history-clean Git
repository.
The Git tree represents the selected features, board support,
and configurations extensively tested by Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project kernel allows the end user to leverage community
best practices to seamlessly manage the development, build and debug cycles.
</para>
<para>
This manual describes the Yocto Project kernel by providing information
on its history, organization, benefits, and use.
The manual consists of two sections:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Concepts - Describes concepts behind the kernel.
You will understand how the kernel is organized and why it is organized in
the way it is. You will understand the benefits of the kernel's organization
and the mechanisms used to work with the kernel and how to apply it in your
design process.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Using the Kernel - Describes best practices and "how-to" information
that lets you put the kernel to practical use. Some examples are "How to Build a
Project Specific Tree", "How to Examine Changes in a Branch", and "Saving Kernel
Modifications."</para></listitem>
