The extensible SDK primarily consists of a pre-configured copy of
the OpenEmbedded build system from which it was produced.
Thus, the SDK's configuration is derived using that build system and
- the following filters, which the OpenEmbedded build system applies
- against <filename>local.conf</filename> and
- <filename>auto.conf</filename> if they are present:
+ the filters shown in the following list.
+ When these filters are present, the OpenEmbedded build system applies
+ them against <filename>local.conf</filename> and
+ <filename>auto.conf</filename>:
