Welcome to the Getting Started With Yocto Project Manual!
This manual introduces the Yocto Project by providing concepts,
software overviews, best-known-methods (BKMs), and any other
high-level introductory information suitable for a new Yocto

This manual does not give you the following:

<emphasis>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>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.

<title>Other Information</title>
<para>
Because this manual presents information for many different
topics, supplemental information is recommended for full
comprehension.

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>.
