May I suggest you post in text, not HTML? That way multi-level quoting works.

TBH, I am not sure of the best place to start asking about moving
ARM/Linux to a specific platform.

I would think some key questions would be:
* Do you already have a reference platform or are you building your own?
* Have you chosen the chipset, componentry etc.?
* Failing that, are you going with COTS hardware?
* What distro do you want to use?

If you were using a reference platform or COTS and, say, talking about
Debian/ARM, I'd ask on the Debian developers' list.

If you were looking at a whole new bespoke platform, then perhaps the LKML.

Does that help at all?

I'd need to know more specifics if you wanted more detailed info. I
understand that there might be issues of confidentiality but you'll
have to sort out internally what you can & can't disclose and talk
about if you want to get guidance and info from any public fora, not
just this mailing list.
