So far, we have used Poky as a build tool; in other words, we have used it as a tool to design and generate the image that will be used on products. In this chapter, we will understand how the tool can help us with application or kernel development, creating external compilation tools, producing a root filesystem suitable for cross development, and generating an image with the tools for use in the target machine for development.
