It really depends on the motherboard and flash chips used. The patched
kernel from handhelds.org may not work right away with a particular
hardware. The flash chips we used were very well documented, and yet
we had to do some magic beyond the documentation to get flash to work with
Linux. Unless you have the actual motherboard and flash chips, you are
never sure what code will work.
