i mean.. im just starting out with linux (both for my desktop and my
mini2440) and i saw the led blinking commands that you enter through
the serial shell..
if there were some examples of how to achieve all 4 leds lighting up
on different things, say one lighting up by a key press, another
lighting up by a touch on the screen and the remaining two blinking at
two different speeds.

and another thing.. can i get a shell prompt on the screen of my
mini2440 and then connect a usb keyboard and enter the commands
directly on the mini2440?
that would be really awesome!!

if you could just point me in the right direction.. :)

and last thing.. i'm planning to write a series of tutorials on the
bsp and its setup and some simple usage application for complete n00bs
to linux (like me!). i hope that's alright..
