Bitbake Cheat Sheet

Here are some quick notes on bitbake syntax and rules. For an exhaustive list of functionality, and longer descriptions, see the bitbake manual at: http://docs.openembedded.org/bitbake/html/ (note that this link goes to the OpenEmbedded version of the bitbake manual, which is a version from 2006 as of this writing.  A separate (yocto-specific?) bitbake manual is included in source form in the yocto project source directory, under bitbake/doc.)
