If you read the guide, especially the hardware pack section, you should get an idea of what to do. You need to grab the headless image from snapshots.linaro.org and combine it with the imx hardware pack from jameswestby.net to produce an image for your board. The instructions on how to do this are on the page you mentioned.
If you have any problems doing this please get back in contact and I'll help you through it.
Actually, I do not have problem to set up imx51 image for myself, since I'm building rootfs from lh build with some changes on the headless config. But I think a pre-built linaro-headless-imx51 should be more straight-forward for people on imx51 to go, and better for everyone testing imx51 on the same page. (Just a thought)
Your right, it would be easier. The problem lies with the number of platforms we support and the number of 'flavours' we produce. Lets take a look. Currently we have support in some shape or form for:
Beagle Board C3/4 IGEPv2 (slight customisation due to wireless driver) Beagle XM ARM Versatile Express Samsung Ux500 iMX51
We also have these flavours: Headless Netbook ALIP Plasma
So if we were to release pre-built images for each board with each flavour, we would need to produce a staggering 24 image and this number is only going to rise. Having a tool to take one board specific part and combine it with one flavour is the most future-proof way of making images.
