| Welcome to the Yocto Project Application Developer's Guide. This manual |
| provides information that lets you begin developing applications using |
| the Yocto Project. |
| |
| The Yocto Project provides an application development environment based |
| on an Application Development Toolkit (ADT) and the availability of |
| stand-alone cross-development toolchains and other tools. This manual |
| describes the ADT and how you can configure and install it, how to |
| access and use the cross-development toolchains, how to customize the |
| development packages installation, how to use command-line development |
| for both Autotools-based and Makefile-based projects, and an |
| introduction to the Eclipse IDE Yocto Plug-in. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| The ADT is distribution-neutral and does not require the Yocto |
| Project reference distribution, which is called Poky. This manual, |
| however, uses examples that use the Poky distribution. |
