<title>The Yocto Project Development Manual</title>
<section id='dev-welcome'>
<title>Welcome</title>
<para>
Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Manual!
This manual provides relevant procedures necessary for developing
in the Yocto Project environment (i.e. developing embedded Linux
images and user-space applications that run on targeted devices).
The manual groups related procedures into higher-level sections.
Procedures can consist of high-level steps or low-level steps
depending on the topic.
You can find conceptual information related to a procedure by
following appropriate links to the Yocto Project Reference
Manual.
</para>
<para>
The following list describes what you can get from this manual:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>Setup Procedures:</emphasis>
Procedures that show you how to set
up a Yocto Project Development environment and how
to accomplish the change workflow through logging
defects and submitting changes.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>Emulation Procedures:</emphasis>
Procedures that show you how to use the
Yocto Project integrated QuickEMUlator (QEMU), which lets
you simulate running on hardware an image you have built
using the OpenEmbedded build system.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>Common Procedures:</emphasis>
Procedures related to "everyday" tasks you perform while
developing images and applications using the Yocto
Project.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
This manual will not give you the following:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>Redundant Step-by-step Instructions:</emphasis>
For example, the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_SDK_URL;'>Yocto Project Software Development Kit (SDK) Developer's Guide</ulink>
contains detailed instructions on how to install an
SDK, which is used to develop applications for target
hardware.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>Reference or Conceptual 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>.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the
Yocto Project:</emphasis>
For example, exhaustive information on how to use the
Source Control Manager Git is better covered with Internet
searches and official Git Documentation than through the
Yocto Project documentation.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>

<section id='other-information'>
<title>Other Information</title>
<para>
Because this manual presents information for many different
topics, supplemental information is recommended for full
comprehension.
For introductory information on the Yocto Project, see the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;/ecosystem/yocto-project-backgrounders'>Yocto Project Backgrounders</ulink>
on 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>

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.
