This documentation is about the Yocto based SDK for the Pengwyn board.
The SDK is provided by means of an already configured VirtualBox virtual machine, inside the virtual machine everything has already been configured for you so you don’t waste time trying to understand every single detail of every single software component from the beginning.

If you are a new user of the Yocto based SDK we suggest you to read the Quick start guide chapter, otherwise, if you want to have a better understanding of specific topics, just jump directly to the chapter that interests you the most.

Furthermore, we encourage you to read the official Yocto Project documentation.

Notations

Throughout this guide, there are commands, file system paths, etc., that can either refer to the machine (real or virtual) you use to run the SDK or to the board.

  Host    select
...
This box will be used to refer to the machine running the SDK
  Board    select
...
This box will be used to refer to Pengwyn board

However, the previous notations can make you struggle with long lines. In such a case, the following notation is used.

  Host    select
This Box will be used where long lines need to be displayed, as well as with system paths, commands, configuration files, etc.
All related to the host.
It will be used to display code example as well.
  Board    select
The same facility will be used, when needed, for the board.

If you click on select on the top right corner of these two last boxes, you will get the text inside the box selected. We have to warn you that your browser might select the line numbers as well, so, the first time you use such a feature, you are invited to check it.

Sometimes, when referring to file system paths, the path starts with /path/to. In such a case, the documentation is NOT referring to a physical file system path, it just means you need to read the path, understand what it means, and understand what is the proper path on your system. For example, when referring to the device file associated to your USB flash memory you could read something like this in the documentation:

  Host    select
/path/to/your/USB/device

Since things are different from one machine to another, you need to understand its meaning and corresponding value for your machine, like for example:

  Host    select
/dev/sdb

otherwise, if you want to have a better understanding of specific topics, we suggest you to have a look to the documentation chapters:
