Significant re-write to every section in this chapter except the "Setting Up the Environment" and "Kernels and Filesystem Images" chapters. I established some terms to communicate the build and source trees and the build and source top-level directories for YP. These terms had not been consitently communicated. I also stepped through each of the three methods by which a user can install ADT (and the cross-toolchain) and meticulously documented the steps. The result is a much more complete and clear set of procedures.

Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
