After a linux-yocto style kernel is configured, a kernel configuration audit is executed to detect common errors or issues with the config. This output used to be visible, but was made less obvious to not alarm users unnecessarily (since some configuration issues are acceptable). There are some classes of configuration issue that are worth being visible, and that is specified configuration values that do not make the final .config. These dropped options can result in any number of runtime failures, so flagging them at build time makes sense. The visibility of auditing is controlled by KCONF_AUDIT_LEVEL: 0: no reporting 1: report options that are specified, but not in the final config 2: report options that are not hardware related, but set by a BSP The default level is 1, with level 2 and above being for BSP development only. If these conditions are detected, warnings will be generated as follows: WARNING: [kernel config]: specified values did not make it into the kernel's final configuration: Value requested for CONFIG_SND_PCSP not in final ".config" Requested value: "CONFIG_SND_PCSP=y" Actual value set: "" or WARNING: [kernel config]: BSP specified non-hw configuration: CONFIG_BLOCK CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT CONFIG_CORDIC CONFIG_CRC8 CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION CONFIG_NET CONFIG_NETDEVICES CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED CONFIG_WEXT_CORE CONFIG_WEXT_PROC CONFIG_WIRELESS At this point thse are only a warnings, since there needs to be time for layers and configuration fragments to be validated against this new check.

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, 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.
