A quick guide on how to download and build Yocto 1.8 "Fido" for i.MX6 (same as my previous post about "dizzy"):

mkdir ~/bin
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

PATH=$PATH:~/bin
mkdir yocto-fido-sabresd
cd yocto-fido-sabresd
repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b fido
repo sync
source ./setup-environment build
bitbake core-image-minimal

The default target machine is "imx6qsabresd", but you can change it in your conf/local.conf file.

Do you know if this release supports hdmi output and vpu/gpu acceleration on the riotboard?

HDMI works OK, you should be able to run applications on the framebuffer and Xorg without acceleration. VPU & GPU still doesn't work, because riotboard currently uses linux-fslc (mainline kernel). I plan in the near future to add support for kernel 3.14.28, and then all the Freescale goodies will work.
