I am in the same boat as Bert. My embedded knowledge consists of>
MSP430 and PIC. Is there any reading that may be helpful to begin
working with this?

I found "building embedded linux systems" from O`reilly to be very usefull.
by Karim Taghmour. Possibly a little dated now.
Also www.linuxfromscratch.org for learning about linux in general.

For those looking for an introduction to Linux and embedded Linux, I
think the http://free-electrons.com/ electrons training is quite good.
They are very friendly to the open source community with free access
to their materials (http://free-electrons.com/training). If you have
the opportunity to attend their trainings, I'd recommend it.
