Use the following commands to build your image.
The OpenEmbedded build process creates an entire Linux
distribution, including the toolchain, from source.
- <note>
- By default, the build process searches for source code using

+ By default, the build process searches for source code

+ If you are working behind a firewall and your build system
+ is not set up for proxies, you could encounter problems
+ with the build process when fetching source code (e.g.
+ fetcher failures or Git failures).

+ If you do not know your proxy settings, consult your

+ information.
+ A good starting point could also be to check your web
