First thing would be determinate what you call "newer version"

On master, the default linux for imx28 is 2.6.35. And it's the "newest 
kernel from freescale" for this board.

If you intent to use kernel mainline, the newst version is 3.11 and you 
need only to change your PREFERRED_PROVIDER, add the following line to 
local.conf:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-fslc"

For u-boot you are already using "newst" version as the default points 
to 2013.10

What do you realy need?
