Hi everyone,

I am new to Yocto and sorry for my poor english.  I have a question is that, what actually Yocto is?. I am so confuse about this term. Of courses i have done some research and the definition on the internet is " *Yocto is an open source collaboration project that helps developers create custom Linux-based systems* ", but what does that actually mean. Is Yocto is a combine of some tool like Kbuild, mkimage to build Linux kernel and Uboot for example. Please help me clear this mist

Thanks for your reply.

I have go through your recommend article, and I have a question. " Yocto is an open source collaboration project " and in my opinion " open source collaboration project" is a process of  create and maintain open source software, so what open source software does Yocto maintain?

The answer is directly in the article. Note the list at the start:

"The Yocto Project combines and maintains several key elements:"

and the section "Components And Tools Maintained By The Yocto Project"
(which has a link to a more detailed description of each).

The git repositories for them are:
https://git.yoctoproject.org/
https://git.openembedded.org/
