The Emdebian HowTo Guide describes how to setup a cross-building environment with toolchains, obtain and patch the upstream Debian source packages and cross-build smaller packages for your device.

Philippe De Swert wrote an OpenOffice.org presentation for the Stag framework and Neil Williams revised it for DebConf7. It may also be useful for other presentations and as general documentation, so it is hosted as exported HTML pages (works best in fullscreen mode) and as original files. Other presentations are kept in Emdebian SVN, generally using docbook and/or LaTeX.
