+Welcome to the CaROS yocto buildsystem.
+
+
+You can now run 'bitbake <target>'
+
+Common targets are:
+    core-image-minimal
+    core-image-full-cmdline
+    core-image-sato
+    core-image-weston
+    meta-toolchain
+    meta-ide-support
+
+Other commonly useful commands are:
+ - 'devtool' and 'recipetool' handle common recipe tasks
+ - 'bitbake-layers' handles common layer tasks
+ - 'oe-pkgdata-util' handles common target package tasks
