Mohan, Did you reformat your mmc as ext3?
The text files contain some instructions about how to do this as well as some notes about what we had to change in the user space. I was able to download them at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=246840&package_id=301200 . Did you try pressing the 'Direct Link?' That's sometimes useful if the downloads don't begin automatically. As far as what works and what doesn't, it can basically boot to the main menu and the touchscreen and keypad work. That being said, the keypad doesn't work that well due to keymapping issues. It's very proof-of-concept. Good luck!
