1. http://code.google.com/p/mini2440/wiki/MiniBringup i used this to know how to connect to the serial console with picocom and i used this for various nand manipulations described in there

2. http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Mini2440 this site shows howto build u-boot.bin and how to upload it to the device, later on it shows the same to the kernel

3. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/index.xml?part=1&chap=1 here i followed the steps to build a toolchain with the "arm-unknown-linux-gnu" as cross compiler

4. http://www.friendlyarm.de/downloads i used the kernel provided on this site

zaurus
Specifications 416MHz PXA-270 XScale processor 64MB RAM 128MB internal flash memory 640x480 16bpp backlit LCD touchscreen display Input methods: keyboard, stylus with handwriting recognition Ports: IrDA, USB (host & slave), headphones & remote, Zaurus connector, SD memory card slot, CF slot

Unlike the C3000 and C3100 units, there is no internal hard drive. A microdrive can be installed in the CF slot. I chose the C1000 specifically because it did not have a hard drive, since I worry that a hard drive subjected to a lot of handheld use would be prone to failure, especially if dropped.

Unfortunately, I can't confirm much. In hho CVS there should be sort-of support for sleeves. I tested it with dual PCMCIA sleeve, it worked (tested with orinoco gold wifi card and some pcmcia ethernet adapter).
