You'll need Linux BSP release (L2.6.35_MX28_SDK_10.12_SOURCE under Board Support Packages) from:

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=i.MX287&nodeId=018rH3ZrDRA24A&fpsp=1&tab=Design_Tools_Tab

You'll also need Linux BSP documentation (IMX28_EVK10_12_LINUXDOCS_BUNDLE ) package from:

i.MX287 Product Summary Page

With that, unpack documentation bundle and look at Linux Board Support Package User's Guide (i.MX28_Linux_BSP_UG.pdf). Starting at Chapter 2 there's step-by-step instructions on how to build the Linux BSP.

is there a GUI coding interface at the end of this 5+ hour install ?

No, this deals with building and flashing Linux BSP.

LTIB will generate target root file system in <ltib_install_dir>/rootfs . Toolchain is in /opt/....

For GUI-based coding, there's manuals on the web on how to set up Eclipse to do cross-compiling.

I gave up and switched to the i.mx 53 VM bundle
