Summary
In this chapter, we learned how recipes depend on each other and how Poky deals with dependencies. We understood how a download is configured and how to optimize it. In addition, we got a better view of the tasks managed by BitBake to download all the required source code and use it to build and generate packages.
In the next chapter, we will see the contents of the build directory after complete image generation and learn how BitBake uses it in the baking process, including the contents of the temporary build directory and its generated files.
