| 9 | BitBake was originally a part of the OpenEmbedded project. It was inspired by |
| 10 | the Portage package management system used by the Gentoo Linux distribution. In |
| 11 | 2004, the OpenEmbedded project was split the project into two distinct pieces: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | - BitBake, a generic task executor |
| 14 | - OpenEmbedded, a metadata set utilized by BitBake |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Today, BitBake is the primary build tool of OpenEmbedded based projects, such as |
| 17 | the Yocto Project. |
