# Reference: Images

Poky has several standard images covering most people's standard needs. Use the following command to list the supported images:

         $ ls meta*/recipes*/images/*.bb

Images are listed below along with details of what they contain:

Building an image without GNU Public License Version 3 (GPLv3) components is only supported for minimal and base images. Furthermore, if you are going to build an image using non-GPLv3 components, you must make the following changes in the `local.conf` file before using the BitBake command to build the minimal or base image:

         1. Comment out the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line
         2. Set INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPLv3"

- core-image-minimal - A small image just capable of allowing a device to boot.

- core-image-base - A console-only image that fully supports the target device hardware.

- core-image-core - An X11 image with simple applications such as terminal, editor, and file manager.

- core-image-sato - An X11 image with Sato theme and Pimlico applications. The image also contains terminal, editor, and file manager.

- core-image-sato-dev - An X11 image similar to core-image-sato but also includes a native toolchain and libraries needed to build applications on the device itself. The image also includes testing and profiling tools as well as debug symbols. This image was formerly core-image-sdk.

- core-image-lsb - An image suitable for implementations that conform to Linux Standard Base (LSB).

- meta-toolchain - This image generates a tarball that contains a stand-alone toolchain that can be used externally to Poky. The tarball is self-contained and unpacks to the `/opt/poky` directory. The tarball also contains a copy of QEMU and the scripts necessary to run poky QEMU images.

- meta-toolchain-sdk - This image includes everything in meta-toolchain but also includes development headers and libraries to form a complete standalone SDK. See the External Development Using the Poky SDK section for more information.
