No problem!

You would need couple of additional layers to build the image for your
target... This is listed in:

I do not think that NXP would make an announcement for other releases
in a form you're expecting it to be, but even if they would - you're
not limited to that release, and can always try to build your image
from either the master branch or any stable branches that you're
interested in. Bottom line is I guess for this point NXP people should
comment here.

I believe Github is the place of origin for the meta-freescale
development, and Yocto Project is a mirror of it.

Did you try to build off the latest "master" branch? This should have
a support for QorIQ platforms (have a look at
https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/blob/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-qoriq_4.19.bb
for example).

What you would need to do here is to look at the manifest file that
NXP provided for sumo, deduct all remotes and layers from it
(meta-fresscale, meta-freescale-distro, meta-freescale-3rdparty,
etc.), put them together and run the build.
