4.3.1. Using devtool in Your Workflow

As mentioned earlier, devtool helps you easily develop projects whose build output must be part of an image built using the OpenEmbedded build system. The remainder of this section presents the workflow you would use that includes devtool. [1]

The steps in this section assume you have a previously built image that is already either running in QEMU or running on actual hardware. Also, it is assumed that for deployment of the image to the target, SSH is installed in the image and if the image is running on real hardware that you have network access to and from your development machine.
