As Reported By: Robert P. J. Day. Community member Robert P. J. Day scrubbed the Quick Start manual for Release 1.1. He found several areas that were incorrect. Many items were documented pre-release and changed during the actual realeas. Naming conventions for images and such had to be changed. Robert also found and suggested several wording changes that resulted in clearer text. I was not able to patch all the changes using the 'patch' command. I need to work out some process issues still in order to apply patches directly to the yocto-docs repository. Meanwhile, I hand-inserted the changes. Also, some text changes were modified slightly by me to conform to the books style, etc. Kudos to Robert for such a detailed look at the YP Quick Start.

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:
http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
