Check a number of things as early as possible in the eSDK installer script so that the user gets an error up front rather than waiting for the build system to be extracted and then have the error produced: * Check for missing utilities specified in SANITY_REQUIRED_UTILITIES (along with gcc and g++), taking into account that some of these are satisfied by buildtools which ships as part of the SDK. We use the newly added capability to list an SDK's contents to allow us to see exactly which binaries are inside the buildtools installer. * Check that Python is available (since the buildtools installer's relocate script is written in Python). * Check that locale value set by the script is actually available * Check that the install path is not on NFS This does duplicate some of the checks in sanity.bbclass but it's difficult to avoid that given that here they have to be written in shell and there they are written in Python, as well as the fact that we only need to run some of the checks here and not all (i.e. the ones that relate to the host system or install path, and not those that check the configuration or metadata). Given those issues and the fact that the amount of code is fairly small I elected to just re-implement the checks here. Fixes [YOCTO #8657].

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.
