     <title>Using <filename>devtool</filename> in Your SDK Workflow</title>
 
     <para>
-        <filename>devtool</filename> helps you easily develop projects whose
-        build output must be part of an image built using the OpenEmbedded
-        build system.
+        The cornerstone of the extensible SDK is a command-line tool
+        called <filename>devtool</filename>.
+        This tool provides a number of features that help
+        you build, test and package software within the extensible SDK, and
+        optionally integrate it into an image built by the OpenEmbedded build
+        system.

+        As with the OpenEmbedded build system, "recipes" represent software
+        packages within <filename>devtool</filename>.
+        When you use <filename>devtool add</filename>, a recipe is
+        automatically created.
+        When you use <filename>devtool modify</filename>, the specified
+        existing recipe is used in order to determine where to get the source
+        code and how to patch it.
+        In both cases, an environment is set up so that when you build the
+        recipe a source tree that is under your control is used in order to
+        allow you to make changes to the source as desired.
+        By default, both new recipes and the source go into a "workspace"
+        directory under the SDK.
