+Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
+build system and development environment. It features support for building
+customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
+featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
+cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
+standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
+
+Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
+is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
+in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
+
+As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as 
+BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information 
+e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
 
-The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about OE including a reference manual
