I'm doing the same.

The BDI2000 from abatron, which in the US you probably want to get
from  www.ultsol.com (send my commision to...).  The difference between
the BDI product and others that my have similar spec sheets is that it
actually works, including the flash burning portions.

Once you have u-boot and/or the kernel up you can use them to update
flash.

As I understand it, Freescale has not publicly released the OCD interface
so that's why it's not supported in the open source community.

You could also look at magraigor.com.  I had problems with their 5200 device
but they've probably got them worked out by now.
