Hi,
We are working with 32bit microcontrollers (Kinetis, Coldfire...)
and 16/32bit DSC (like 56F84xx). So, we have no experience with
"big" processor design. Whenever we can, we use MQX OS.
I would like to investigate: how to start design based on
i.MX5 and i.MX6 devices and some available operating system. I may use
Windows Embedded Compact, Embedded Linux or Android.
What should I do first ? How about starting with some reference
platform ? How to get and use BSP for hardware platform and
operating system ?
Please advice.
Thanks for help

I would suggest to start with set Mcimx53 start-R it is available completely all the background information
, as well all of the source data for a quick start of the study and is the budget version
What about toolchain ? We are using CW Pro - but I can't see any support for i.MX architecture.
How the general workflow look like (in a few words) ?

yes it does not support Cade Warrior, you can use either iar or GCC.
Personally, I liked this board that it comes with a full Ubunta(sdcard4GB) and you can immediately see the potential of the processor was vga output.
