During the extensible SDK installation process the final step is to prepare the internal copy of the build system. This can take some time, especially if you have SDK_EXT_TYPE set to "minimal" (downloading sstate artifacts) and SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA set to "1" (restoring pkgdata for world). To make this a bit less painful, use BitBake's new quiet mode to display status during this operation so you have some idea of how it's progressing; instead of redirecting the output to preparing_build_system.log we grab the last console log and append it instead. One result of this change is that you get the errors printed on the console during normal output rather than this going to the preparing_build_system.log file first. In OE-Core revision 227d2cbf9e0b8c35fa6644e3d72e0699db9607fa, we changed to always print the contents of preparing_build_system.log on failure, but now at least the error contents of that log is duplicated. Besides, I intentionally didn't print out the contents of that log during normal usage because it's quite verbose - the bug that we were attempting to fix was about not getting this information when seeing failures in the automated tests, thus I've moved printing the log to the test handling code instead. Part of the implementation for [YOCTO #9613].

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 (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
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.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: 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.
