<para>
There are two main ways to get a board supported in Poky;
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Send us the board if we don't have it yet
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Send us BitBake recipes if you have them (see the Poky handbook to find out how to create recipes)
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- Usually if it's not a completely exotic board then adding support in Poky should be fairly straightforward.
