The cooker log is copied from its original (bitbake) location to an artifact directory chosen by the user (chosen when checksettings.py runs as part of the managed mode; it's one of the annoying questions you're asked at startup). The copy happens as part of the runbuilds script run, which is started in a loop from the toaster startup script in managed mode. When a user requests the log for a build via toaster, they are getting the log which has been copied to the artifact directory, not the original bitbake log. This works for the managed case, where the runbuilds command is running in a loop and copying log files for completed builds to the artifact directory. However, in analysis mode, there are two problems: 1. checksettings isn't run, so the artifacts directory isn't set. toaster is then unable to figure out where the log files should have been copied to. 2. The log files aren't copied to the artifacts directory anyway, as runbuilds isn't running in analysis mode. To fix this, just point the user to the local bitbake log file in its original location. This avoids the copy step, and means we can remove a whole question from the toaster startup sequence, as we no longer need an artifact directory. The only downside to this is that it's not appropriate for remote bitbake servers. We will need to revisit this and possibly reinstate the copy step once we have to reconcile local and remote builds and make their logs available in the same way.

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-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.
