Hi Till,

OpenSIMpad was built from OpenZaurus. All sources can be obtained there 
using Bitkeeper and CVS. See the following Link for Information about 
working with that.
http://opensimpad.org/wiki/index.php/Docs/BuildingCustomImages

As mentioned in this page the OpenZaurus Buildroot there is no longer 
mantained since everything is being transitioned to OpenEmbedded. When 
that is accomplished then OpenSIMpad will continue on this basis.

If you are only interessted in Kernel stuff then the CVS stuff at sf.net 
should have everything you need. I can't remember that we added any 
changes in Buildroot that differ from those at sf.net.

Regards,
Chris Martin
