That works as well.
However, if you need the graphics stack that your best bet is the Freescale BSP.
I'm not that adventurous ... least not yet :-)
Gaaaa :-) Indeed, the graphics stuff is not easy. We are working at least on minimum framebuffer support for the first cut. So don't give up so fast.
If anyone knows how the state regarding accelerated graphics is, let me know. It would be pretty interesting to support that in mainline as well. Until now, we don't have any idea if there is some documentation for the z430 core available, and if not, if that's by accident (because nobody knows) or on purpose (because it is top secret).
Some good news: the SDMA engine on the MX51 seems to work as well. We have reworked the code recently completely and patches from Sascha are on ALKML. Although they have been developed on MX35, it also seems to work on MX51. It's not feature complete, but anyway...
