+
+The OpenEmbedded build system provides several example images to satisfy
+different needs. When you issue the ``bitbake`` command you provide a
+"top-level" recipe that essentially begins the build for the type of
+image you want.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Building an image without GNU General Public License Version 3
+   (GPLv3), GNU Lesser General Public License Version 3 (LGPLv3), and
+   the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 (AGPL-3.0) components
+   is only supported for minimal and base images. Furthermore, if you
+   are going to build an image using non-GPLv3 and similarly licensed
+   components, you must make the following changes in the
+   local.conf
+   file before using the BitBake command to build the minimal or base
+   image:
+   ::
+
+           1. Comment out the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line
+           2. Set INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPL-3.0 LGPL-3.0 AGPL-3.0"
+
+
+From within the ``poky`` Git repository, you can use the following
+command to display the list of directories within the :term:`Source Directory`
+that contain image recipe files: ::
+
+   $ ls meta*/recipes*/images/*.bb
+
+Following is a list of supported recipes:
+
+-  ``build-appliance-image``: An example virtual machine that contains
+   all the pieces required to run builds using the build system as well
+   as the build system itself. You can boot and run the image using
+   either the `VMware
+   Player <http://www.vmware.com/products/player/overview.html>`__ or
+   `VMware
+   Workstation <http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/overview.html>`__.
+   For more information on this image, see the :yocto_home:`Build
+   Appliance <software-item/build-appliance>` page
+   on the Yocto Project website.
+
+-  ``core-image-base``: A console-only image that fully supports the
+   target device hardware.
+
+-  ``core-image-clutter``: An image with support for the Open GL-based
+   toolkit Clutter, which enables development of rich and animated
+   graphical user interfaces.
+
+-  ``core-image-full-cmdline``: A console-only image with more
+   full-featured Linux system functionality installed.
+
+-  ``core-image-lsb``: An image that conforms to the Linux Standard Base
+   (LSB) specification. This image requires a distribution configuration
+   that enables LSB compliance (e.g. ``poky-lsb``). If you build
+   ``core-image-lsb`` without that configuration, the image will not be
+   LSB-compliant.
+
+-  ``core-image-lsb-dev``: A ``core-image-lsb`` image that is suitable
+   for development work using the host. The image includes headers and
+   libraries you can use in a host development environment. This image
+   requires a distribution configuration that enables LSB compliance
+   (e.g. ``poky-lsb``). If you build ``core-image-lsb-dev`` without that
+   configuration, the image will not be LSB-compliant.
+
+-  ``core-image-lsb-sdk``: A ``core-image-lsb`` that includes everything
+   in the cross-toolchain but also includes development headers and
+   libraries to form a complete standalone SDK. This image requires a
+   distribution configuration that enables LSB compliance (e.g.
+   ``poky-lsb``). If you build ``core-image-lsb-sdk`` without that
+   configuration, the image will not be LSB-compliant. This image is
+   suitable for development using the target.
+
+-  ``core-image-minimal``: A small image just capable of allowing a
+   device to boot.
+
+-  ``core-image-minimal-dev``: A ``core-image-minimal`` image suitable
+   for development work using the host. The image includes headers and
+   libraries you can use in a host development environment.
+
+-  ``core-image-minimal-initramfs``: A ``core-image-minimal`` image that
+   has the Minimal RAM-based Initial Root Filesystem (initramfs) as part
+   of the kernel, which allows the system to find the first "init"
+   program more efficiently. See the
+   :term:`PACKAGE_INSTALL` variable for
+   additional information helpful when working with initramfs images.
+
+-  ``core-image-minimal-mtdutils``: A ``core-image-minimal`` image that
+   has support for the Minimal MTD Utilities, which let the user
+   interact with the MTD subsystem in the kernel to perform operations
+   on flash devices.
+
+-  ``core-image-rt``: A ``core-image-minimal`` image plus a real-time
+   test suite and tools appropriate for real-time use.
+
+-  ``core-image-rt-sdk``: A ``core-image-rt`` image that includes
+   everything in the cross-toolchain. The image also includes
+   development headers and libraries to form a complete stand-alone SDK
+   and is suitable for development using the target.
+
+-  ``core-image-sato``: An image with Sato support, a mobile environment
+   and visual style that works well with mobile devices. The image
+   supports X11 with a Sato theme and applications such as a terminal,
+   editor, file manager, media player, and so forth.
+
+-  ``core-image-sato-dev``: A ``core-image-sato`` image suitable for
+   development using the host. The image includes libraries needed to
+   build applications on the device itself, testing and profiling tools,
+   and debug symbols. This image was formerly ``core-image-sdk``.
+
+-  ``core-image-sato-sdk``: A ``core-image-sato`` image that includes
+   everything in the cross-toolchain. The image also includes
+   development headers and libraries to form a complete standalone SDK
+   and is suitable for development using the target.
+
+-  ``core-image-testmaster``: A "master" image designed to be used for
+   automated runtime testing. Provides a "known good" image that is
+   deployed to a separate partition so that you can boot into it and use
+   it to deploy a second image to be tested. You can find more
+   information about runtime testing in the
+   ":ref:`dev-manual/dev-manual-common-tasks:performing automated runtime testing`"
+   section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+
+-  ``core-image-testmaster-initramfs``: A RAM-based Initial Root
+   Filesystem (initramfs) image tailored for use with the
+   ``core-image-testmaster`` image.
+
+-  ``core-image-weston``: A very basic Wayland image with a terminal.
+   This image provides the Wayland protocol libraries and the reference
+   Weston compositor. For more information, see the
+   ":ref:`dev-manual/dev-manual-common-tasks:using wayland and weston`"
+   section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+
+-  ``core-image-x11``: A very basic X11 image with a terminal.
