The integration may have to come from Freescale due to license
restrictions.  Even if you wanted to integrate it, you may not be
allowed to distribute it [to us].   Now that Freescale requires a
login to get to their bsp's, I would not give out whatever I
downloaded unless I had specific permission to do so (that's just me).
  Stuart may be able to provide some more insight to the process if
one exists.

You may have to dig into your bsp package but for my board there were
instructions on how to format and copy files-systems to flash, sd or
hd.   i've use one called /root/diskinit-1.2.sh.  Generally these type
of short scripts either tftp the disk image or mount the host nfs
share and the contents are simply copied.  Nothing special about it.
