As described above, having the target device is not really necessary. Just a PC workstation running a GNU/Linux will be enough. Theoretically, any recent Linux distribution should work but this procedure was tested on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (future 7.10) and 7.04. As a series of packages from the Gutsy repositories are need to build the project, a connection to the internet is required. To transfer the final image to the device, one will need a RW-CD or USB Pen Drive (>= 512MBytes).
