Summary

In this chapter, we have learned how to use QEMU and how its capabilities can shorten the development cycle by emulating when possible and describing when it is not possible. It also presented some runqemu use cases.

In the final chapter, we offer a list of good practices that authors have been using over the years in the development of Yocto Project-based products.
