So, you want the Jabber server installed on an ARM system so that you
can connect to it and either a) verify that it crashes, or b)
demonstrate that it doesn't.
If this is so, then I can do this for you and give you a routable
address to the ARM machine. Do you need to be able to do anything
*on* the ARM? I think I can get ssh and some other utilities running
on it.
Still, let me be clear. I am using a Sharp KEV7A400 for some embedded
systems development. I have a script that produces stripped-down
filesystems for the target using the Debian package archive. It isn't
hard for me to add programs to the filesystem, but I need to know
exactly what has to be there since this isn't exactly an 'apt-get
install' situation.
Let me know and I'll put some cycles to it.
Cheers.
