12 using the Yocto Project.

16 The Yocto Project provides an application development environment based on
17 an Application Development Toolkit (ADT) and the availability of stand-alone
18 cross-development toolchains and other tools.
19 This manual describes the ADT and how you can configure and install it,
20 how to access and use the cross-development toolchains, how to
21 customize the development packages installation,
22 how to use command-line development for both Autotools-based and
23 Makefile-based projects, and an introduction to the
24 <trademark class='trade'>Eclipse</trademark> IDE Yocto Plug-in.
25 <note>
26 The ADT is distribution-neutral and does not require the Yocto
27 Project reference distribution, which is called Poky.
28 This manual, however, uses examples that use the Poky distribution.
