Hi Darren, Bruce,

Besides the PPC the iMX31ADS seems to be supported as well.
The imx31ads is supported by older non linux-yocto recipes, so it
may have some bit rot at the moment. Until it gets refreshed onto
a linux-yocto base, your mileage will vary with it.
Thanks for the hint;)
We're currently using the following board.

Confirmed. This is the board we are currently using.
There are definitely plans to update/refresh the FSL/e500 board
options. Unofficially there's a whole set of boards that will
work fine, and there's a good pool of good quality BSPs that are
viable options.
I hesitate to say more, since nothing has been quite chosen yet
and I'd be speculating or worse misleading at this point. But
a newer e500 based board is something that will arrive once
everything falls into place.
Do you happen to have some time estimation for this?
Nothing that I'd call a solid commitment at the moment.
Hopefully this will be something we can clarify in
the next little while.
That being said, I can suggest/help with the addition of any of
a number of FSL powerpc based boards, it all depends on what
the requirements are for the board. Does it just have to
be readily available ? Less than 'x' dollars ? Any particular
peripheral support ?
I'm doing a 5 days "Introduction to Embedded Linux" and a 5 days "Device
Drivers and Kernel Internals" training which are pretty much hardware
independent. Just want to avoid using LTIB and want to use yocto
instead, since a "mainline" kernel is definitely preferred over whatever
comes with LTIB. Most likely mainline will work with most of the powerpc
based boards as long as I don't need any fancy peripherals.
A reasonable requirement and something that leaves a good
set of boards available.
Thanks for the offer to help me adding a board. I'll have a chat with my
customer and will let you know
Sounds good.
Bruce

...I read the system requirements label on a software package recently.
It said "requires Windows NT or better". So I installed Unix. -- from a FAQ
