| 166 | |||
| 167 | <para> | ||
| 168 | The Yocto Project through the OpenEmbedded build system provides an | ||
| 169 | open source development environment targeting the ARM, MIPS, | ||
| 170 | PowerPC, and x86 architectures for a variety of platforms | ||
| 171 | including x86-64 and emulated ones. | ||
| 172 | You can use components from the Yocto Project to design, develop, | ||
| 173 | build, debug, simulate, and test the complete software stack using | ||
| 174 | Linux, the X Window System, GTK+ frameworks, and Qt frameworks. | ||

| 185 | Here are some highlights for the Yocto Project: | ||
| 186 | </para> | ||
| 187 | |||
| 188 | <itemizedlist> | ||
| 189 | <listitem><para> | ||
| 190 | Provides a recent Linux kernel along with a set of system | ||
| 191 | commands and libraries suitable for the embedded | ||
| 192 | environment. | ||
| 193 | </para></listitem> | ||
| 194 | <listitem><para> | ||
| 195 | Makes available system components such as X11, GTK+, Qt, | ||
| 196 | Clutter, and SDL (among others) so you can create a rich user | ||
| 197 | experience on devices that have display hardware. | ||
| 198 | For devices that do not have a display or where you wish to | ||
| 199 | use alternative UI frameworks, these components need not be | ||
| 200 | installed. | ||
| 201 | </para></listitem> | ||
| 202 | <listitem><para> | ||
| 203 | Creates a focused and stable core compatible with the | ||
| 204 | OpenEmbedded project with which you can easily and reliably | ||
| 205 | build and develop. | ||
| 206 | </para></listitem> | ||
| 207 | <listitem><para> | ||
| 208 | Fully supports a wide range of hardware and device emulation | ||
| 209 | through the Quick EMUlator (QEMU). | ||
| 210 | </para></listitem> | ||
| 211 | <listitem><para> | ||
| 212 | Provides a layer mechanism that allows you to easily extend | ||
| 213 | the system, make customizations, and keep them organized. | ||
| 214 | </para></listitem> | ||
| 215 | </itemizedlist> | ||
| 216 | |||
| 217 | <para> | ||
| 218 | You can use the Yocto Project to generate images for many kinds | ||
| 219 | of devices. | ||
| 220 | As mentioned earlier, the Yocto Project supports creation of | ||
| 221 | reference images that you can boot within and emulate using QEMU. | ||
| 222 | The standard example machines target QEMU full-system | ||
| 223 | emulation for 32-bit and 64-bit variants of x86, ARM, MIPS, and | ||
| 224 | PowerPC architectures. | ||
| 225 | Beyond emulation, you can use the layer mechanism to extend | ||
| 226 | support to just about any platform that Linux can run on and that | ||
| 227 | a toolchain can target. | ||
| 228 | </para> | ||
| 229 | |||
| 230 | <para> | ||
| 231 | Another Yocto Project feature is the Sato reference User | ||
| 232 | Interface. | ||
| 233 | This optional UI that is based on GTK+ is intended for devices with | ||
| 234 | restricted screen sizes and is included as part of the | ||
| 235 | OpenEmbedded Core layer so that developers can test parts of the | ||
| 236 | software stack. | ||
