Dear All, I now have an i.MX53 "quick start" board, which I have connected to a SATA disk and it is running the Freescale-supplied Ubuntu from it.
Next I need to decide whether to try to install some form of Debian. (I guess the alternative is to use this Ubuntu image as a starting point and to strip it down to something usable - but I don't know how well Ubuntu would cope with the sort of surgery that I have in mind.) I think this comes down to: - Will the Freescale-supplied Ubuntu kernel work with the Debian userspace(s)? - Is Debian armhf in a state where I can expect it to function? - Will debootstrap work, or is there some other suggested process for installing a base system? Looking slightly ahead, my next question will be whether I want to build locally on the device or to tackle the perennial pain of cross-compilation... Cheers, Phil. p.s.
