Fixes [YOCTO #2385] The installer only searches for hd[ab] sd[ab]. Some newer BSPs have mmcblk devices that should be used as the install target. These devices also have a partition prefix (mmcblk0p1 instead of mmcblk01). As they are detected asynchronously, it is necessary to add the rootwait kernel parameter to avoid a race condition trying to mount the root device. As BSPs like the FRI2 and the sys940x have mmc devices and will have a 1.2 release, we should push this to 1.2.1. The changes are perfectly contained and easily verified. Test for an mmcblk device and add the p partition prefix if necessary. Add the rootwait kernel parameter when an mmcblk device is detected. Replace the series of explicit umount commands with a single umount using a wildcard. This will find all the partitions and will not try to unmount non-existant devices. Avoid copy and paste errors by replacing /dev/${device}${pX} references with the previously assigned rootfs, bootfs, and swap variables. These changes have been tested on the FRI2 Sato image which installed to /dev/mmcblk0 as well as the N450 Sato image which installed to /dev/sda. Both were successful.

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
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.
