Actually the Beagle/Panda are supported by a smalled hacked up version
of the Debian Installer.. (just wraps a mainline u-boot/kernel around
the versatile initrd.gz)

I'm currently working on adding imx53 support for that low cost board
mentioned..

Martin:
I know i asked this question about 2 year ago...  How do you feel
about adding an omap variant to debian?  the omap2plus_config in
mainline currently supports pretty much every omap board omap2-4..
