Yocto Poky sumo QEMU VM

Complexity:	High - UNSUPPORTED
Payloads:	`SDR`, `IPI`

This method creates a VM provided by The Yocto Project. It is unsupported.

The SDR & IPI payloads run on an ARM Cortex A53, with Yocto Poky 2.5 (Sumo) installed (specs). The Yocto Poky sumo OS can be run in a QEMU VM.

There are significant differences between the packages installed in the image published by Yocto and the packages on the SDR & IPI. Please read more on the Execution Environment, especially about the filesystem to understand where to place files. A helper script is provided in the Getting Started Guide.

QEMU - may be installed with a package manager, e.g. apt or apk
