As Reported by Robert P. J. Day. Robert was working through this BSP example in the development manual and ran into some problems and some confusion in areas. This launched a long "help-desk" session with Tom Zanussi. In addressing Robert's issues, Tom decided to make a run through of the example as it was written. For the most part the example was sound but needed some technical tweaks as well as some expansion of the text to make things clearer. Tom submitted the patch that addressed these concerns. Scott Rifenbark reviewed the patch and further modified some of the writing to make it consistent with the existing writing in the manual.

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
