+BitBake Documentation
+=====================
+
+|
+
+BitBake was originally a part of the OpenEmbedded project. It was inspired by
+the Portage package management system used by the Gentoo Linux distribution. In
+2004, the OpenEmbedded project was split the project into two distinct pieces:
+
+- BitBake, a generic task executor
+- OpenEmbedded, a metadata set utilized by BitBake
+
+Today, BitBake is the primary build tool of OpenEmbedded based projects, such as
+the Yocto Project.
+
+The BitBake documentation can be found :doc:`here <bitbake:index>`.
