I don't understand what you mean by "repo source". But assuming you
meat meta-fsl-arm-extra, it is a good idea to copy over the board
which looks like yours (same SoC), and change it.

Please, take a look on commit log/history and you will see it may be
very straight forward:
https://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm-extra

Basically you have one patch for machine config file, one for
adjusting u-boot-fslc and one for adjusting linux-fslc. So the real
work is to get your board ported to u-boot and kernel.
