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 OE including a reference manual -which can be found at: +The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a +reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation +For information about OpenEmbedded see their website: + http://www.openembedded.org/ + -- cgit v1.1
