Hi Gabi,

Please have a look at arch/arm/tools/machines.py and platform/imx31/ 
tools/machines.py.
The former defines various incarnations of ARM11 (armv6) chipsets,  
while the latter
defines a real ARM11-based target.

Depending on what ARM11 chip you're using, you probably don't need to  
modify the first
file if it's already listed.  In the second file you need to make sure  
that:

  i) some usable physical memory region is defined in memory['physical']
  ii) the run method (hardware or simulator) is defined
  iii) any applicable drivers are defined, but that's unlikely for a  
new platform
