Yhy LTIB, not Yocto Project?

I'm at the start of LINUX-based development on iMX processors, before the bare metal projects were actual,

so I try to understand, which builder method is more reliable and suitable for prospective projects. I had a lot of troubles with LTIB (it seems to be very ancient with poor support for modern LINUX builds), Yocto is much more newer, but I suppose, that it will have more bugs at its startup stage.

To build kernel and rootfs using yocto, you can check the doc:

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-93844

Note that the doc says to change from i.MX53 to i.MX6. You can just let the yocto config default (for i.MX53).
