9*4882a593SmuzhiyunBitBake was originally a part of the OpenEmbedded project. It was inspired by
10*4882a593Smuzhiyunthe Portage package management system used by the Gentoo Linux distribution. In
11*4882a593Smuzhiyun2004, the OpenEmbedded project was split the project into two distinct pieces:
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun-  BitBake, a generic task executor
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun-  OpenEmbedded, a metadata set utilized by BitBake
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun
16*4882a593SmuzhiyunToday, BitBake is the primary build tool of OpenEmbedded based projects, such as
17*4882a593Smuzhiyunthe Yocto Project.
