I started with the "official" OMAP tree (git://git.omapzoom.org/repo/omapkernel.git)

If there is a better starting point, I'd certainly like to know.
Trying to find the correct tree to use is challenging.

Not sure exactly what that means.  Again, trying to follow this
development is not straight forward - it seems that those who
know the answers assume that everyone does, so why bother explaining
anything?  (Maybe that's a bit cynical, but my experience so far)

It's a new board under development, more or less like the beagle.

Again, I'd appreciate any help or pointers.  Thanks
