<title>The Yocto Project Development Manual</title>
-<para>
- WRITER NOTE: The goal of this manual is to provide an over-arching development guide for using the Yocto Project.
- The intent is to give the reader the “big picture” around development.
- Much of the information in the manual will be detailed in other manuals.
- For example, detailed information on Git, repositories and open-source in general can be found in many places.
- Another example is getting set up to use the Yocto Project, which our Yocto Project Quick Start covers.
- However, this manual needs to at least address it.
- One might ask “What becomes of the Poky Reference Manual?”
- This manual, over time, needs to develop into a pure reference manual where all procedural information
- eventually ends up in an appropriate guide.
- A good example of information perfect for the Poky Reference Manual is the appendix on variable
- definitions (glossary).

+ Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Manual!
+ This manual gives you an idea of how to use the Yocto Project to develop embedded Linux
+ images and user-space applications to run on targeted devices.
+ Reading this manual gives you an overview of image, kernel, and user-space application development
+ using the Yocto Project.
+ Because much of the information in this manual is general, it contains many references to other
+ sources where you can find more detail.
+ For example, detailed information on Git, repositories and open-source in general can be found in many places.
+ Another example is how to get set up to use the Yocto Project, which our Yocto Project Quick Start covers.

+ <para>
+ The Yocto Project Development Manual, however, does provide detailed examples on how to create a
+ Board Support Package (BSP), change the kernel source code, and re-configure the kernel.
+ You can find this information in the appendices of the manual.
