Ensure the following results in the kernel being rebuilt, repackaged and re-deployed in the final step: bitbake virtual/kernel bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel [ make changes to the kernel configuration and save ] bitbake virtual/kernel If there are no changes to the configuration saved, the rebuild will not be triggered. Note that this relies on a function recently added to BitBake and requires full hashing (i.e. BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER must be set to a signature handler that inherits from BasicHash) - if this is not the case or the function is not available in the version of BitBake being used this change will do nothing. Fixes [YOCTO #2256].

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.
