In order to facilitate reuse of the oe-core u-boot recipe, there needs to be some assurance that the oe-core version won't change without a clear indicator to people extending it. By renaming the recipe to include its version string instead of "git", BSP layers can extend a specific base version of u-boot, ie. u-boot_2011.03.bbappend. When 2011.06 becomes available, we can create that file without instantly breaking all the BSPs depending on oe-core version of the recipe. As a matter of policy I would recommend we not carry more than 2 versioned u-boot recipess at any given time. This will provide BSP layers time to migrate to the newer version, without cluttering oe-core with numerous stale versions of u-boot. We may decide later to resurrect u-boot_git.bb as an AUTOREV recipe to faciliate upstream development on u-boot in the oe environment.

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
