<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.

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.
