Beginner Starting Point

Ade Akinyede
Hi there,
I recently just purchased a Mini2440+3.5" LCD pack and im in need of some
advice as to where i should start off from. 
At the moment i would like to know how to develop applications and deploy
them to the Mini2440. So far i've installed the Qt SDK from Trolltech onto
my Vista system, but im confused cos there's also a version for embedded
linux...?

I know there's a lot of info out there, but it'd be nice to have a clear
direction. Any help would be great.

Kind regards,
Ade

I think you have much to learn then,
Learn about linux, using a cross-compiler and embedded linux. The
difference in Qt for your computer and embedded Qt is just how the qt
lowlevel api writes the pixels to the screen and access the hardware.
Qtopia/Qt extended is just Qt on the linux framebuffer device.

that you download ubuntu 9.04 and try to install it on a machine to
experiment with linux in general)

Can you boot in NOR mode and do you see a menu in DNW?

Have you tried the steps from the Linux Download Manual:
