Scott Rifenbark 333f776d6c documentation: Updates for [YOCTO #1717].
Minor edits to the BSP Guide, the Development Manual, and the
Kernel Manual to address [YOCTO #1717], which noted confusion
over the kernel manual when a user was trying to find kernel
configuration information.

The fix for this bug involved several areas.  I had previously
created a new section called "Kernel Configuration" in the kernel
manual and "Configuring the Kernel" in the YP Development manual.
There were several rounds of feedback from Bruce Ashfield.

This commit represents the final touches on the three manuals to
address the bug.

documentation

This is the location for the Yocto Project documentation. Documentation consists of six manuals (see below).

Manual Organization

Folders exist for individual manuals as follows:

  • adt-manual - The Yocto Project Application Development Toolkit (ADT) User's Guide.
  • bsp-guide - The Yocto Project Board Support (BSP) Developer's Guide
  • dev-manual - The Yocto Project Development Manual
  • kernel-manual - The Yocto Project Kernel Architecture and Use Manual
  • poky-ref-manual - The Yocto Project Reference Manual
  • yocto-project-qs - The Yocto Project Quick Start

Each folder is self-contained regarding content and figures.

Makefile

The Makefile processes manual directories to create HTML, PDF, tarballs, etc. Details on how the Makefile work are documented inside the Makefile. See that file for more information.

To build a manual, you run the make command and pass it the name of the folder containing the manual's contents. For example, the following command run from the documentation directory creates an HTML and a PDF version of the ADT manual. The DOC variable specifies the manual you are making:

 $ make DOC=adt-manual

poky.ent

This file defines variables used for documentation production. The variables are used to define release pathnames, URLs for the published manuals, etc.

template

Contains various templates, fonts, and some old PNG files.

tools

Contains a tool to convert the DocBook files to PDF format.
