Description : Setup tool for bitbake based projects
This tool provides an easy mechanism to setup bitbake based projects.
The OpenEmbedded tooling support starts at step 2 with bitbake. The
downloading of sources and then configuration has to be done by hand.
Usually, this is explained in a README. Instead kas uses a project
configuration file and makes use of it in download and configuration phases.
Key features provided by the build tool:
* clone and checkout bitbake layers
* create default bitbake settings (machine, arch, ...)
* launch minimal build environment, reducing risk of host contamination
* initiate bitbake build process
