+****************************
+Customizing the Standard SDK
+****************************
+
+This appendix presents customizations you can apply to the standard SDK.
+
+Adding Individual Packages to the Standard SDK
+==============================================
+
+When you build a standard SDK using the ``bitbake -c populate_sdk``, a
+default set of packages is included in the resulting SDK. The
+```TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK`` <&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK>`__
+and
+```TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK`` <&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK>`__
+variables control the set of packages adding to the SDK.
+
+If you want to add individual packages to the toolchain that runs on the
+host, simply add those packages to the ``TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK`` variable.
+Similarly, if you want to add packages to the default set that is part
+of the toolchain that runs on the target, add the packages to the
+``TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK`` variable.
+
+Adding API Documentation to the Standard SDK
+============================================
+
+You can include API documentation as well as any other documentation
+provided by recipes with the standard SDK by adding "api-documentation"
+to the
+```DISTRO_FEATURES`` <&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DISTRO_FEATURES>`__
+variable: DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " api-documentation" Setting this
+variable as shown here causes the OpenEmbedded build system to build the
+documentation and then include it in the standard SDK.
