 Yocto is an open-source collaboration project that provides templates, tools, and methods to help create custom Linux distributions for embedded systems. It enables developers to build and maintain their own Linux distributions tailored specifically to the unique requirements of their embedded devices.
-Yocto is essentially composed by a framework called OpenEmbedded. This framework utilizes metadata, known as recipes, to specify how software packages should be built and integrated into the Linux distribution. Recipes are organized in layers, which allow for modularity and customization.

 === Why do we use Yocto? ===
-Yocto could be use in every particular project using embedded systems. However, there are some specific scenarios where Yocto is the best option to implement
+Yocto can be used in any specific project involving embedded systems. However, there are some particular scenarios where Yocto is the best option.
-# '''Customization Requirements''': When the embedded device used need a highly customized Linux distribution to satisfy the conditions. Yocto allows the developer to select, configure, and integrate all and only the necessary components and features to optimized performance, storage and functionality.

-# '''Hardware Diversity''': When the embedded system involves the use of multiple hardware platforms or required a very specif hardware configuration. Yocto is able to handle multiple architectures and adapt its characteristics to every hardware support.

 #:
 # '''Reproducibility and Scalability''': Yocto is designed for reproducibility and scalability. By defining software configurations and dependencies in recipes and layers, developers can reliably reproduce builds across different environments and scale their projects from prototypes to production-ready systems.
