It's intended to be a workgroup having the goal to produce tools and processes that will enable the creation of Linux distributions for embedded devices that are independent of the underlying architecture. The Yocto Project was announced by the Linux Foundation in 2010, and in the upcoming years, it aligned itself with OpenEmbedded, an existing framework with similar goals, with the result being The OpenEmbedded-Core Project.

Yocto's main components are the Linux kernel, the glibc C library, BusyBox, and matchbox (for the windowing system). This distribution is used as base distribution by the most important System-on-Chip manufactures. The distribution has its building system based on bitbake tool...
