The devtool command-line tool provides a number of features that help you build, test, and package software. This command is available alongside the bitbake command. Additionally, the devtool command is a key part of the extensible SDK.

This chapter provides a Quick Reference for the devtool command. For more information on how to apply the command when using the extensible SDK, see the "Using the Extensible SDK" chapter in the Yocto Project Application Development and the Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK) manual.
