When creating partitions sized to given rootfs directories, filesystem creation could fail in cases where the calculated target partition size was too small to contain the filesystem created using mkfs. This occurred in particular when creating partitions to contain very large filesystems such as those containing sdk image artifacts. This same limition is present in the oe-core image creation classes, which can be readily see by changing IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR from the default 1.3 to 1.0 and building a sato-sdk image. It should be possible to calculate required sizes exactly given the source rootfs and target filesystem types, but for now, to address the specific problem users are hitting in such situations, we'll just do exactly what oe-core does and define and use an IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR or 1.3 in those cases. Fixes [YOCTO #6863].

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/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto: poky@yoctoproject.org
Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository. openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
