[meta-freescale] noob: Udoo Quod with Framebuffer

As I want to run JavaFX 8 on a Udoo Quad with a touch screen I'm looking 
into the Yocto project for creating a specialized installation that will 
provide the optimum performance.
I'm able to install Java HF on the default Lubuntu, but the performance 
of JavaFX under GTK using a software pipeline is, well, not enough. I'm 
hoping to build an image that will use the framebuffer of JavaFX 8 
Monacle and the integrated GPU of the Udoo Quad.

Despite having read 'the book' [1] on Yocto, having watched several 
YouTube tutorials, read websites I don't really know where to start. 
I've installed Yocto on my Ubuntu 15.04, and creating and starting 
default supplied images work fine.

 From Udoo's website [2] the board has the following features:
- Freescale i.MX 6 ARM Cortex-A9 CPU Dual/Quad core 1GHz
- Integrated graphics, each processor provides 3 separated accelerators 
for 2D, OpenGL® ES2.0 3D and OpenVG™
- Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU (same as Arduino Due)
- RAM DDR3 1GB
- 76 fully available GPIO
- Arduino-compatible R3 1.0 pinout
- HDMI and LVDS + Touch (I2C signals)
- Ethernet RJ45 (10/100/1000 MBit)
- WiFi Module
- Mini USB and Mini USB OTG
- USB type A (x2) and USB connector (requires a specific wire)
- Analog Audio and Mic
- SATA (Only Quad-Core version)
- Camera connection
- Micro SD (boot device)

Of course I'd like to create an image that enables all features.

I'd really appreciate some help to get me started, and some support 
along the way.
