It features support for building +customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images +featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports +cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a +standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration. + +Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports +is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added +in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. + +As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as +BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information +e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project. + +The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a +reference manual which can be found at: + http://yoctoproject.org/documentation + +OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions +of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with +DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support. + +For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: + http://www.openembedded.org/ + +Where to Send Patches +===================== + +As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), +patches against the various components should be sent to their respective +upstreams: + +bitbake: + Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ + Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org + +documentation: + Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ + Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org + +meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp: + Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) + Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org + +Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in +doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. +Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git +repository. + + Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/ + Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org + +Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of +oe-core and poky-specific files from meta-poky. |
