I don't have links to pre-built images and never used gentoo embedded. Here we use a GCC cross-toolchain, build the kernel from scratch and the rootfs with buildroot on the host, copy to an SDCard and boot our embedded system from there. The bootloader is pre-programmed through JTAG to embedded flash. Application debugging is done with gdbserver running on the target communicating through ethernet connection to the host. raffaele
