It looks like the TomTom will not be difficult to write code for. TomTom
themselves recognise that they have used OpenSource code to develop it, and
provide the open source bits of the software (linux kernels, libraries, and
compiler) (http://www.tomtom.com/page.php?Page=gpl).
It looks quite easy to get a program running on it - the main problem for
me will be graphics - without looking at the kernel sources it is not
obvious how they have coded it - no SDL or GTK libraries listed etc - they
might be writing directly to the framebuffer with their own code.
I'll have a look sometime, but if anyone with experience of graphics on
embedded systems fancies a look, I would appreciate some pointers on how to
get it drawing on the screen!

It´s the same TomTom-software they use on smartphones.
No special hardware needed to develop for it.
AND thes have an SDK.
