Hello Attila,

Note that I think the Armadeus people were interested in having tools
like elftosb2 integrated within Buildroot. It would indeed be
really nice to have this in Buildroot, so that users of i.MX systems
can easily build images that can run on their targets.

I am not very familiar with the i.MX range of processors, but the guys
from Pengutronix have done an enormous work in getting support for
those processors into the mainline Linux kernel. Though I don't know if
their work included support for the i.MX 23.
Best regards,
Thomas
