This device looks interesting. However, I could not find any information about the single most important issue in firmware development (JTAG port). Many SOC devices, if indeed this is a system on a chip, do not properly implement a JTAG interface, or it is dysfunctional. Let me know if you find somebody (hardware/firmware) designer that can provided detailed information about the JTAG interface. Another killer point seems to be a lack of 2.6.x kernel options. This may be do the SOC's details being obscure, or did I miss that web page.....? If it has a useful JTAG interface, then I'd be interested in getting one to experiment, and make available on the net. Any other Debian-arm products, with a JTAG interface, that is fully functional and documented would be of keen interest to me.
