I don't have experiance with that device specifically, I know there are
recent device tree based kernels for mx6 out there. I'm not sure if
everything mx6 needs is upstreamed yet. Also you may need a new device
tree depending on how close utilite's design is to existing mx6
platforms. Finally i'm not sure if the device tree based kernels support
video output or not.

OOI which model did you get?
