Do you know for what make or model should I be looking for? About the connection is is simple 8N1 115200 or something exotic? Finally is copying contents of system partition simple cp * or requires different approach? What commands are built in, is busybox inside?
if the flash layout matches what I've seen for other devices,

/bin/cp /dev/mtd0 your-sd-card/mtd0.img
/bin/cp /dev/mtd2 your-sd-card/mtd1.img

busybox appears to be inside.

if for some reason cp doesn't work, you can use dd (if dd is there)
