| 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 |
| <trademark class='trade'>Eclipse</trademark> 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. |
