I tiny comment:
Under sources, with file system you mean the ramdisk image? And then I
would put the exact link to the image not only to the arago site.

Khasim,

Nice piece of work.
Some small suggestions:

in the beginning: give a list with required hw

Copy the following files on to MMC in the following order:

I suggest to make things more explict and add "one file at a time".
Also probably I would be inclined to say "SD card" instead of "MMC"

Connect UART cable to a UART port of Window/Linux/Mac machine

maybe add a link to a place where the pinout can be found

Connect a TV (NTSC-M) to S-video port

Does it have to be NTSC-M? Does (for us europeans) PAL also work?

I did not verify if all the messages are still actual (e.g. version
numbers etc)

continue validation: other wise continue by skipping this step

shouldn't that be "otherwise" ?

validation step 1:

What about adding a step 1 for a linux host?

step 4: Make Sure your player is running

Sure -> sure
probably make things more explicit by adding "on the host PC"

step 6: umount

This one says "This tests validates read/write to MMC/SD card as the
audio data is being written and read from MMC."
Actually I fail to see how this does the vailidation unless you
remount and play later on.
(thinking of it, you could umount then mount again after step 4)

To Test USB OTG as HOST using a USB Ethernet Dongle

you might want to say a little bit more about addresses here.

other tests

tiny comment: the first line of text of each group has an additional
space

Best regards, Frans
