Before you can do any kernel development, you need to be
sure your build host is set up to use the Yocto Project.
For information on how to get set up, see the
"<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#setting-up-the-development-host-to-use-the-yocto-project'>Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project</ulink>"

Part of preparing the system is creating a local Git
repository of the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
(<filename>poky</filename>) on your system.
Follow the steps in the
