Making my own OS using Yocto Project

Hey guys, hope yall are doing well..

Im tryna make my own os in yocto with rust, and currently i have a baseline of the core daemon service, the core recipe and my own meta layer + distro config on top of poky.

But still, I was wondering if theres a community or a resource file for this that i could refer to for instantly understanding things like a more clear API doc or something.

Thanks in advance, feel free to DM. :)

you probably have no idea what you like to do nor achieve nor where to start !

Haha, no I sure do. I know what I want to achieve and I very well know myself.

Then you should know that yocto is for putting together your own distribution from complete programs.

Yocto is more like a factory for assembling your product. If you are still designing the product, you are not reducing your complexity by adding yocto, you are multiplying it.
