YOCTO

YOCTO is just another way to get uBoot and Linux for iMX6 Rex. The difference comparing to a stand alone compilation is, that Freescale is supporting iMX6 CPU through YOCTO and therefore if you for example need to use iMX6 GPU or camera interface, you may want to consider YOCTO for your project:

• How to start with YOCTO

• How to add support of custom board into YOCTO

Android

• How to test Android on iMX6 Rex
