Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual!
|
||
|
|
This manual provides relevant procedures necessary for developing
|
||
|
|
in the Yocto Project environment (i.e. developing embedded Linux
|
||
|
|
images and user-space applications that run on targeted devices).
|
||
|
|
The manual groups related procedures into higher-level sections.
|
||
|
|
Procedures can consist of high-level steps or low-level steps
|
||
|
|
depending on the topic.
|
||
|
|
You can find conceptual information related to a procedure by
|
||
|
|
following appropriate links to the Yocto Project Reference
|
||
|
|
Manual.

<emphasis>Setup Procedures:</emphasis>

Procedures that show you how to set

up a Yocto Project Development environment and how
|
||
|
|
to accomplish the change workflow through logging
|
||
|
|
defects and submitting changes.

Procedures that show you how to use the

Yocto Project integrated QuickEMUlator (QEMU), which lets

you simulate running on hardware an image you have built
|

using the OpenEmbedded build system.

Procedures related to "everyday" tasks you perform while

manual contains detailed instructions on how to install an

SDK, which is used to develop applications for target

hardware.

<emphasis>Reference or Conceptual Material:</emphasis>

This type of material resides in an appropriate reference manual.

For example, system variables are documented in the

Yocto Project:</emphasis>

For example, exhaustive information on how to use the
|
||
|
|
Source Control Manager Git is better covered with Internet
|
||
|
|
searches and official Git Documentation than through the
|
||
|
|
Yocto Project documentation.
