The Yocto Project presents the kernel as a fully patched, history-clean Git
|
|
repository.
|
|
The Git tree represents the selected features, board support,
|
|
and configurations extensively tested by the Yocto Project.
|
|
The Yocto Project kernel allows the end user to leverage community
|
|
best practices to seamlessly manage the development, build and debug cycles.

This manual describes the Yocto Project kernel by providing information
|
|
on its history, organization, benefits, and use.
|
|
The manual consists of two sections:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><emphasis>Concepts:</emphasis> Describes concepts behind the kernel.
|
|
You will understand how the kernel is organized and why it is organized in
|
|
the way it is. You will understand the benefits of the kernel's organization
|
|
and the mechanisms used to work with the kernel and how to apply it in your
|
|
design process.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><emphasis>Using the Kernel:</emphasis> Describes best practices
|
|
and "how-to" information
|
|
that lets you put the kernel to practical use.
|
|
Some examples are how to examine changes in a branch and how to
|
|
save kernel modifications.</para></listitem>
