Introduction
==

'Poky' is a combined cross build system and linux distribution based
upon OpenEmbedded. It features support for building X11/Matchbox/GTK
based filesystem images for various embedded devices and boards.


Required Packages
===

Running Poky on Debian based distributions requires the following
extra packages be installed;

build-essential
diffstat
texinfo
texi2html
cvs
subversion
gawk

You also need to install the qemu from http://debian.o-hand.com/.
Alternatively poky can build qemu itself, but for this you need the
following packages installed;

gcc-3.4
libsdl1.2-dev
zlib1g-dev

You will also need to comment out ASSUME_PROVIDED += "qemu-native"' in  
build/conf/local.conf.

Building under other distro's such as Fedora is known to work. Use the above
package names as a guide for dependencies.

Building An Image
===

Simply run;

% source poky-init-build-env
% bitbake oh-image-pda

This will result in an ext2 image and kernel for qemu arm (see scripts dir).

To build for other machine types see MACHINE in build/conf/local.conf
