During testing/extension of the linux-yocto-tiny kernel it was found that
defconfigs were not always properly applied. This was due to two issues:
- not being able to fully control the order of objects applied to the
git tree on the SRC_URI
- defconfigs triggering --allnoconfig before being applied
To fix this, the recipe space code that previously detected and generated
automatic features moves back to the kernel tools (where it was before) and
is updated to also process .cfg and defconfigs. Moving this back to the
tools allow other recipes to automatically benefit from the additional
support.
The second issue is addressed by allowing configme to take --alldefconfig
when a recipe wishes to pass a defconfig and override the default
behaviour.
Fixes [YOCTO: 2250]

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.
