This looks like a (more or less general) introduction to
"Embedded Linux".
No problems with that, but make sure not to confuse this with
documentation on how to use OpenEmbedded.

I think there are two different targets for documentation:
  1 - How to use OpenEmbedded
  2 - What to build with OpenEmbedded

There's always a need for both, but I think it's helpful
to keep them separate (but probably reference each other).

Your TOC for an introduction looks like documentation for 2.
