Hi Guys,

CodeSourcery tools are pretty cheap and should be able to compile the Linux
Kernel.

BTW, the i.MX53 QSB is $149.00 and has a ton of Linux/Android support on the
Freescale Web. This is a 1 GHz part with the same 2D/3D Graphics engine as
the Xbox 360.

The new i.MX6X Dual/Quad core board I am using will support OpenCl. Although
I have yet to have tried it using OpenCl myself. I am too busy porting
Dolby/DTS decoders to this for a 3D audio headphone project.

Regards,

Terry
