[meta-freescale] Sabrelite - kernel with vivante support

[Eric Nelson]

Hello Einar,

Note that this is really off-topic for the meta-freescale list
but we're happy to help.

Note that if you're just getting started, there's a tarball
of a recent kernel, modules, and boot script here:

	http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/boundarydevices.com/L3.0.35-01.01.01-kernel-and-bootscript-20130312.tar.gz

as discussed in this blog post comment:
	http://boundarydevices.com/timesys-2013-03-release/#comment-28243

Our latest kernel branch is 'boundary-imx_3.0.35_1.1.1' and
can be retrieved from Github:
	https://github.com/boundarydevices/linux-imx6/tree/boundary-imx_3.0.35_1.1.1

Please contact us off-list if you need any help getting this
built in your environment.


Eric
