Hi, How can I do to request a class in Mexico city? because the link http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/training_information.jsp?c... its broken.

You can get the flashing scripts from our latest release(3.3) of Android for the QS board available at: 

http://www.adeneo-embedded.com/en/Products/Board-Support-Packages/Freescale-i.MX53-QSB

Just click the download link and register for free. Once you've registered and signed in you can hit the download button again to receive FTP access to the Android BSP.

You should find the script in the 'scripts' folder once you've unpacked the i.MX53-QSB-Android-Release3.3.tar.gz file. A limitation of the flashing script is that it doesn't use the entire SD partition and requires a micro SD card that is >=2GB.

Note that there is 1 script for flashing the prebuilt binaries, and 1 for flashing binaries built from source using the provided scripts for building the QS board. This info is also available in the release notes which will be available to you once you have FTP access.

Thanks.
Are the flashing scripts mentioned on page 110 available for download?
I would like to try out Android on my QS board and it would be helpful.
