I too am working on adding support for the TS7800 to OE. I have only
been focusing on using vanilla linux kernel 2.6.28 for now. I have put
my branch of the OE sources up on github. I would love to collaborate
with you on getting this into the upstream OE tree. I also have a
TS7390 board I would like to contribute support in the future.

So far, I have been working on getting a very minimal initramfs rootfs
running off the SD card for the ts7800. I have been successful in
getting to a shell prompt using a uClibc Angstrom 2009 dev build.
There were a few problems I had to figure out to get that to build
though.

My OE git tree is available here:

  http://github.com/troth/oe-ts7xxx/tree/ts7800

I have a separate git tree for my local setup here:
