+Build a Yocto Image with OpenVINO™ toolkit
+==========================================
+
+Follow the [Yocto Project official documentation](https://docs.yoctoproject.org/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index.html#compatible-linux-distribution) to set up and configure your host machine to be compatible with BitBake.
+
+## Step 1: Set Up Environment
+
+1. Clone the repositories.
+
+```
+      git clone https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky
+      git clone https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded
+      git clone https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/meta-intel
+```
+
+
+2. Set up the OpenEmbedded build environment.
+
+```
+      source poky/oe-init-build-env
+
+```
+
+
+
+3. Add BitBake layers.
+
+
+```
+      bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-oe
+      bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-python
+      bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-intel
+
+```
+
+
+4. Set up BitBake configurations.
+   Include extra configuration in the `conf/local.conf` file in your build directory as required.
+
+
+```
+      MACHINE = "intel-skylake-64"
+
+      # Enable building OpenVINO Python API.
+      # This requires meta-python layer to be included in bblayers.conf.
+      PACKAGECONFIG:append:pn-openvino-inference-engine = " python3"
+
+      # This adds OpenVINO related libraries in the target image.
+      CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL:append = " openvino-inference-engine"
+
+      # This adds OpenVINO samples in the target image.
+      CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL:append = " openvino-inference-engine-samples"
+
+      # Include OpenVINO Python API package in the target image.
+      CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL:append = " openvino-inference-engine-python3"
+
+      # Include model conversion API in the target image.
+      CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL:append = " openvino-model-optimizer"
+
+```
+
+## Step 2: Build a Yocto Image with OpenVINO Packages
+
+Run BitBake to build your image with OpenVINO packages. For example, to build the minimal image, run the following command:
+
+
+```
+   bitbake core-image-minimal
+
+```
+
+## Step 3: Verify the Yocto Image
+
+Verify that OpenVINO packages were built successfully. Run the following command:
+
+```
+   oe-pkgdata-util list-pkgs | grep openvino
+
+```
+
+
+If the image build is successful, it will return the list of packages as below:
+
+```
+   openvino-inference-engine
+   openvino-inference-engine-dbg
+   openvino-inference-engine-dev
+   openvino-inference-engine-python3
+   openvino-inference-engine-samples
+   openvino-inference-engine-src
+   openvino-model-optimizer
+   openvino-model-optimizer-dbg
+   openvino-model-optimizer-dev
+
+```
