I saw some video on the web about raspberry PI and QML with qt5 and the viewable result is not comparable with the graphics performance i'm obtaining with imx53 and qt4, also if the raspberry pi cpu is much less powerful than imx53)

by using meta-fsl-arm and meta-qt5  you should manage to get a QT5
linked against i.MX53's OpenGL ES libraries.
