The purpose of oe-selftest is to run unittest modules added from meta/lib/oeqa/selftest, which are tests against bitbake tools. Right now the script it's useful for simple tests like: - "bitbake --someoption, change some metadata, bitbake X, check something" type scenarios (PR service, error output, etc) - or "bitbake-layers <...>" type scripts and yocto-bsp tools. This commit also adds some helper modules that the tests will use and a base class. Also, most of the tests will have a dependency on a meta-selftest layer which contains specially modified recipes/bbappends/include files for the purpose of the tests. The tests themselves will usually write to ".inc" files from the layer or in conf/selftest.inc (which is added as an include in local.conf at the start and removed at the end) It's a simple matter or sourcing the enviroment, adding the meta-selftest layer to bblayers.conf and running: oe-selftest to get some results. It would finish faster if at least a core-image-minimal was built before.

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 = "") 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.
