This document provides an overview of the software executables and the build procedures for a
      platform software release. It also provides a detailed description of the application
      processor software build environment, which is based on the Yocto Project. This document is
      intended for software developers who are interested in understanding how the system software
      executables are built and how the application software build environment is structured and can
      be customized. The build system, toolchain, packages, and software architecture enables the
      software developers to install third-party applications and libraries.

The Robotics RB5 Platform supports both Linux Ubuntu and Linux Embedded operating systems. In
      this document, information that is unique to an operating system is presented using separate
      heads.
