How do I create a xubuntu desktop image to run from a SATA drive on a ConnectCore Wi-MX6?

Subject question says it all. I have the ConnectCore6 and have developed SDK applications to familiarize myself with the various I/O capabilities of the device. I have installed the SATA connector but have not tried to use it yet. For educational purposes, I would like to run the Xubuntu desktop on it because of my familiarity with that environment. I see where information is available for doing this on other NXP i.MX6 boards but not for the ConnectCore. Are there resources available to enable me to easily do this?

I had seen that.  Perhaps in my ignorance, it looked like that was a way of booting an ubuntu-based root file system which would produce a console-type user interface on the ConnectCore similar to the digiembeddedyocto2.6 image that I had previously installed.  It would not have the graphical user interface I wanted.  However, being Ubuntu, then could I put that on a SATA drive, and use the apt-get function to add on the desktop necessary to get what I want?
