Hi @allisyuxianshen,

Umm no, that’s why I actually linked to the tutorial that explains how to use `kas`: [Using kas to reproduce your Yocto builds](https://hub.mender.io/t/using-kas-to-reproduce-your-yocto-builds/6020)

In a nutshell:

1. make sure your development host fulfills the requisites for building Yocto, as descibed here: [Yocto Project Quick Build — The Yocto Project ® 5.1.999 documentation](https://docs.yoctoproject.org/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index.html)
2. `sudo pip install kas`
3. `git clone https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community`
4. `cd meta-mender-community`
5. `mkdir my-beaglebone && cd my-beaglebone`
6. `kas build ../kas/beaglebone.yml`
7. (wait a couple of hours)
8. flash the `.sdimg`/`.uefiimg` in `build/tmp/deploy/images/beaglebone-yocto` to your SD card

But that really glosses over a lot of detail, so you’re strongly encouraged to also read up on Yocto as a whole, we have a lot of tutorials on that too.

Greetz,  
Josef
