<title>Image Development Using Hob</title>
<para>
The <ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;/projects/hob'>Hob</ulink> is a graphical user interface for the Yocto
Project build system based on BitBake.
You can use the Hob to build custom operating system images within the Yocto Project build environment.
Hob simply provides a friendly interface over the build system used during system development.
In other words, building images with the Hob lets you take care of common Yocto Project build tasks more easily.
