To build for other machines see the <glossterm><link
linkend='var-MACHINE'>MACHINE</link></glossterm> variable in build/conf/local.conf
which also contains other configuration information. The images/kernels built
by Poky are placed in the <filename class="directory">tmp/deploy/images</filename>
linkend='var-MACHINE'>MACHINE</link></glossterm> variable in build/conf/local.conf.
This file contains other useful configuration information and the default version
has examples of common setup needs and is worth
reading. To take advantage of multiple processor cores to speed up builds for example, set the
<glossterm><link linkend='var-BB_NUMBER_THREADS'>BB_NUMBER_THREADS</link></glossterm>
and <glossterm><link linkend='var-PARALLEL_MAKE'>PARALLEL_MAKE</link></glossterm> variables.
The images/kernels built by Poky are placed in the <filename class="directory">tmp/deploy/images</filename>
directory.
