Don't worry, there are. See below.

There is a rather new release. Check the tags! As I said, we have
Xenomai running for the SabreLite and Nitrohen6x board with the 3.0.36
Kernel from Freescale (rel_imx_3.0.35_12.09.02 from
git.freecale.com/linux-2.6) and with mainline Linux 3.4.6.

But we still don't know what Freescale will release when the i.MX6 goes
public. See:
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=i.MX6Q&fsrch=1&sr=5.


What board do you plan to use?
