Thanks,

I looked at the docs - unfortunately they don't have details I am
looking for - it is more a cook book. Source files + the davinci pdf
would be great.

I have seen a Gentoo's already. It uses a complicated build system so
details a sort of hidden.

  Take a look at http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/spraah2a/spraah2a.pdf I
think it has basically the 'Idiots Guide' that they use as an example.

  Another thing to read that may help is
