+# Overview #
+
+The AGL image development workflow consists of setting up
+the system (i.e. the build host) that builds the image and finishes with
+using the
+[Yocto Project](https://yoctoproject.org) to create an image
+targeted towards specific hardware.
+
+The following figure and list overview the AGL image development
+process.
+You can learn about the steps in the process by reading through the
+remaining sections.
+
+**NOTE:** This procedure uses information from many other procedures
+in the AGL Documentation set.
+Links are provided when a set of steps is required that is documented
+elsewhere.

+
+1. Prepare your build host to use use the tools needed to build your image.
+
+2. Download the AGL software into a local Git repository on your build host.
+
+3. Run the build environment script to initialize variables and paths needed for the build.
+
+4. Make sure your build configuration is defined exactly how you want it for your build.
+
+5. Use
+ [BitBake](https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.4.4/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html)
+ to build your image.
