Things I've done, and what I intend to do

Make RedBoot network bootable

Done: Well, actually I have done nothing except for finding the rammode redboot. It is enough for static ip configuration and tftp-booting and execing images. Don't want to mess with my rommode bootloader and bootp until I've got a JTAG plug.

Make a generic debian-arm ramdisk

Busy: it seems that cross-architecture debootstraps are a bit more painfull than I thought.

Compile the latest kernel for this system

Not started yet. It includes making a patch to the IQ31244 MACH to support the EM-7210 (a cross between the IQ31244 and EP80219). Eventually it should lead tot the registration of the MACH_EM7210 on ARCH_ARM or something like that.
