How to install Debian on MCIMX53-START-R

[Gregor Jasny <gjasny@googlemail.com>]

Hello,

I'd like to install Debian onto my i.MX53-R board. I tried to follow 
http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Freescale/QuickStart but the 
linaro-hwpack-create command failed with a python error mentioning that 
linux-image-3.1.0-1-mx5 was not found.

Is there an easy way to install Debian (e.g. by writing an already 
available image to the microSD card)?

Thanks,
Gregor
