Summary
In this chapter, we learned about metadata, metadata collection concepts, and the importance of conf/layer.conf, which are the base for the understanding of the Yocto Project. In the next chapter, we will examine metadata knowledge, understand how recipes depend on each other, and how BitBake deals with dependencies. Additionally, we will also get a better view of the tasks managed by BitBake, download all the required source code, build and generate packages, and see how these packages fit into generated images.
