Description:

BitBake is a make-like build tool with the special focus of
distributions and packages for embedded Linux cross compilation
although it is not limited to that. It is inspired by Portage, which
is the package management system used by the Gentoo Linux
distribution. BitBake existed for some time in the OpenEmbedded
project until it was separated out into a standalone, maintained,
distribution-independent tool. BitBake is co-maintained by the Yocto
Project and the OpenEmbedded project.
