# Reference: Images

Poky has several standard images covering most people's standard needs. A full list of image targets can be found by looking in the `meta/packages/images/` directory. The standard images are listed below along with details of what they contain:

- poky-image-minimal - A small image, just enough to allow a device to boot

- poky-image-base - console only image with full support of target device hardware

- poky-image-core - X11 image with simple apps like terminal, editor and file manager

- poky-image-sato - X11 image with Sato theme and Pimlico applications. Also contains terminal, editor and file manager.

- poky-image-sdk - X11 image like poky-image-sato but also include native toolchain and libraries needed to build applications on the device itself. Also includes testing and profiling tools and debug symbols.

- meta-toolchain - This generates a tarball containing a standalone toolchain which can be used externally to Poky. It is self contained and unpacks to the `/opt/poky` directory. It also contains a copy of QEMU and the scripts neccessary to run poky QEMU images.

- meta-toolchain-sdk - This includes everything in meta-toolchain but also includes development headers and libraries forming a complete standalone SDK. See the Developing using the Poky SDK and Developing using the Anjuta Plugin sections for more information.
