Hello, 

The accelerometer can be programmed through I2C interface, you can see the driver in the below path:

drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-lp.imx.c.

Furthermore, you can follow the example that we have to program the sensor in our Freedom board, the only difference is the interface, but the steps to program it is the same. It will be up to you the way to implement the examples that we provide.

MMA8451Q - Bare metal example project 

Hope this information can help you.

Best Regards,

Diego.
