On terminals which support it, add summary information to the end of the build output about the number of tasks currently running and how many tasks we've run so far. This provides a summary at a glace of what the current state of the build is and what the build is currently doing which is lacking in the current UI. Also disable echo of characters on stdin since this corrupts the disable, particularly Crtl+C. The "waiting for X tasks" code can be merged into this code too since that is only useful on interactive terminals and this improves the readability of that output too. Improvements since v0: * The tasks are ordered in execution order. * The display is only updated when the list of tasks changes or there is output above the footer. * Running task x oy y and package messages are supressed from the console This UI can be accessed with "bitbake -u knotty2".

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.
