Emdebian no longer provides a distribution.

http://emdebian.org/News/2014/20140713.html

Other parts of The Emdebian Project, related to toolchains, are currently working on integration of the toolchains into Debian itself. That work missed the Jessie deadline and is now concentrating on (as far as I understand) toolchains for Stretch in Debian and toolchains for Jessie in Emdebian. So there is some activity in Emdebian but none of that work relates to the Emdebian Grip or Emdebian Crush distributions.

Precisely as the slide indicates: 
As of July 2014, updates to the Emdebian distributions ceased.
There will be no further updates and no further stable releases.

Emdebian Grip health: dead.
Emdebian Grip support: absent, on permanent, authorised & notified leave.

I no longer have write access to the Emdebian website.
