 The Texas Instruments Davinci platform uses a ARM926 core. U-Boot with a Monta Vista Pro Linux kernel. I would start with U-Boot/arch/ARM to get started on a new evaluation platform. This platform was not free about 7K for the licenses, I thought this was a good value considering rolling your own from uCLinux.org is work.  The hardware was only $500.00

 I'm using an MMU less ARM966 with no OS, GNU Linux development environment . ARM embedded question might best be answered on some of the comp.arch.embedded.. GNUARM Yahoo groups?
