SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-2.0-UK + +****************************************** +The Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual +****************************************** + +.. _dev-welcome: + +Welcome +======= + +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. + +This manual provides the following: + +- Procedures that help you get going with the Yocto Project. For + example, procedures that show you how to set up a build host and work + with the Yocto Project source repositories. + +- Procedures that show you how to submit changes to the Yocto Project. + Changes can be improvements, new features, or bug fixes. + +- Procedures related to "everyday" tasks you perform while developing + images and applications using the Yocto Project. For example, + procedures to create a layer, customize an image, write a new recipe, + and so forth. + +This manual does not provide the following: + +- Redundant Step-by-step Instructions: For example, the + :doc:`../sdk-manual/sdk-manual` manual contains detailed + instructions on how to install an SDK, which is used to develop + applications for target hardware. + +- Reference or Conceptual Material: This type of material resides in an + appropriate reference manual. For example, system variables are + documented in the :doc`../ref-manual/ref-manual`. + +- Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the Yocto Project: 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. + +Other Information +================= + +Because this manual presents information for many different topics, +supplemental information is recommended for full comprehension. For +introductory information on the Yocto Project, see the +:yocto_home:`Yocto Project Website <>`. If you want to build an image with no +knowledge of Yocto Project as a way of quickly testing it out, see the +:doc:`../brief-yoctoprojectqs/brief-yoctoprojectqs` document. + +For a comprehensive list of links and other documentation, see the +":ref:`ref-manual/resources:links and related documentation`" +section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual. |
