In order to explore Hob, we will, through this section, sweep through the different essential steps for its proper functioning.
As in Chapter 2 , Building our First Poky Image for the Raspberry Pi, the first step is to initialize the environment. Recall this command:
$ source oe-init-build-env rpi-build
Once the command is launched, the terminal will be redirected to the rpi-build directory.
Now that we have initialized all the variables required to build, we can start the Hob interface with this command:
$ hob

Now, we can choose the desired machine from the list offered by Hob. Select the raspberrypi machine.
