The imx31ads is supported by older non linux-yocto recipes, so it may have some bit rot at the moment.

There are definitely plans to update/refresh the FSL/e500 board options. Unofficially there's a whole set of boards that will work fine, and there's a good pool of good quality BSPs that are viable options. I hesitate to say more, since nothing has been quite chosen yet and I'd be speculating or worse misleading at this point. But a newer e500 based board is something that will arrive once everything falls into place. That being said, I can suggest/help with the addition of any of a number of FSL powerpc based boards, it all depends on what the requirements are for the board. Does it just have to be readily available ? Less than 'x' dollars ? Any particular peripheral support ? Cheers, Bruce >
