Hi Xiuli,

crosstool-ng [1] and xtensa-overlay [2] imx patches are already
accepted to github repos.

The documentation patch is here:

https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-docs/pull/125/commits/56f74662e86fc873ba307b9eb543c3b191a6be1b

Basically, it is the same procedure as for Intel architectures. I hope
it works flawlessly on your machine.
Let me know if is there anything I can help with.

thanks,
Daniel.
