Welcome to the Yocto Project Overview 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
Project user.
</p><p>
The following list describes what you can get from this manual:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Major Topic:</em></span>
Provide a high-level description of this major topic.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Major Topic:</em></span>

<span class="emphasis"><em>Major Topic:</em></span>
Provide a high-level description of this major topic.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>
This manual does not give you the following:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Step-by-step Instructions for Development Tasks:</em></span>
Instructional procedures reside in other manuals within
the Yocto Project documentation set.
For example, the
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5/dev-manual/dev-manual.html" target="_top">Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual</a>
provides examples on how to perform various development
tasks.
As another example, the
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5/sdk-manual/sdk-manual.html" target="_top">Yocto Project Application Development and the Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK)</a>
manual contains detailed instructions on how to install an
SDK, which is used to develop applications for target
hardware.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Reference Material:</em></span>
This type of material resides in an appropriate reference
manual.
For example, system variables are documented in the
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5/ref-manual/ref-manual.html" target="_top">Yocto Project Reference Manual</a>.
As another example, the
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5/bsp-guide/bsp-guide.html" target="_top">Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's Guide</a>
contains reference information on BSPs.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the
Yocto Project:</em></span>
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.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p></div><div class="section" title="1.2. Other Information"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both" id="overview-other-information">1.2. Other Information<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Permalink" href="#overview-other-information">¶</a></span></h2></div></div></div><p>
Because this manual presents information for many different
topics, supplemental information is recommended for full
comprehension.
For additional introductory information on the Yocto Project, see
the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.yoctoproject.org" target="_top">Yocto Project Website</a>.
You can find an introductory to using the Yocto Project by working
through the
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html" target="_top">Yocto Project Quick Start</a>.

"<a class="ulink" href="http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#resources-links-and-related-documentation" target="_top">Links and Related Documentation</a>"
