Sorry no progress here atm. Tried to build my own cross compiling toolchain yesterday but no success (somebody noticed there isn't an arm target in the glibc 2.5 library supplied by amazon??) So I will also use scratchbox.
Are you thinking about publishing the code of your drivers? Or do you have a vcs hosting the code somewhere? I think it would be great to have an organised platform so other can contribute to that project and improve it. At least I am interested
