Install GadgetPC release for Windows on your PC.
You will find a driver under
C:\\bipom\\devtools\\GadgetPC\\win_drivers\\usb_serial

but when we boot into it the device hangs on "Starting kernel......."

Did you select a proper platform configuring Linux kernel ?
Did you change to UART0 as Linux console ?

it was probably only needed in one place

It is necessary to copy only to /lib/modules/2.6.30.4/

Did you execute \'depmod -a\' ?

In case of Debian a driver  has to be loaded automatically
as soon as the system detects the device in system.

FTDI driver is a part of Linux kernel
GadgetPC realease provides ftdi_sio.ko module

then, when i try "apt-get install gcc" some packages get downloaded and then i get a "file not found" from apt-get, because the files it tries to fetch aren\'t in the repository, and i\'m not sure what to do next.

Try

chmod -R a+w /var/cache/man
mkdir -p /var/log/apt/
apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential

2) I\'m not clear whether the Ubuntu Virtual Machine that can be downloaded from the ftp (i downloaded UbuntuARM_Rev102_28Oct2009) already has the cross-compiler installed or is separate installation required? The "gcc" in that VM generates regular intel binaries according to the "file" command, and i don\'t know if there\'s a cross-compiler somewhere around already that i\'m missing

A cross-compiler is pre-installed
Of course, if you run gcc it will run a native x86 compiler
To complie for Gadget PC you need to run a cross-compiler for ARM.
Please look at /home/mini/app/hello . This is a test example with a correct make file.
To compile you need to execute the following commands
cd /home/mini/app/hello
make clean
make

Note, you can compile Linux executables for GadgetPC under Windows
using ARM development system from BiPOM. It\'s FREE

I am curious about getting mono installed on the GadgetPC.  How easy was it to cross compile the binaries?

Note, GadgetPC can run Debian installation.
I guess the fastest way is to try to install \'mono\' under Debian using standard methods

apt-get install monodevelop nunit mono-devel
apt-get install monodoc

Also, no needs to cross compile. It is possible to compile
on GadgetPC using a native gcc compiler.

I don\'t know if GPC resources will be enough to run \'mono\' virtual machine. It is only 32 MB system.

For example, to compile a driver for Sierra USB modem
the following screenshot shows a typical scenario

Also, to the GadgetPC developers, can you outline your driver compilation process for the ARM 9?

Usually, we compile driver sources on a PC wmware ubuntu platform using a cross-compiler

It seemed the hardware worked. But the wireless interface is not configured. ESSID is empty (ieee 802.11bg  essid:"")

Here are the typical commands you need to add to /etc/network/interfaces. Your network has to support  WPA
encryption

# The wireless network interface
auto wlan1
iface wlan1 inet static
address 192.168.1.212
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wpa-psk "your password"
wpa-driver wext
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-proto WPA2
wpa-ssid "your ESSID"

As the 1st step try to execute the commands by hands.
If everything works you can add to /etc/network/interfaces

Did you configure GadgetPC loaders to run Debian ?
Please read
http://www.bipom.com/documents/boards/gadgetpc/Commands%20to%20set%20up%20UBOOT%20environment%20to%20boot%20GadgetPC.pdf

1) To run Debian on GadgetPC, type the following at the U-BOOT prompt:
setenv bootcmd \'usb start; fatload usb 0:1 0x21000000 uImage; bootm 0x21000000\'
setenv bootargs \'mem=32M console=ttyS1,115200 root=/dev/sda2 rw rootwait\'
saveenv
( You do not need any mmfs.gz or gpcfs.gz at all )
2) To run ARM9 Linux on GadgetPC, type the following at the U-BOOT prompt:
setenv bootcmd \'usb start; fatload usb 0:1 0x21000000 uimage; fatload usb 0:1 0x20410000 gpcfs.gz; bootm 0x21000000\'
setenv bootargs \'mem=32M console=ttyS1,115200 root=/dev/ram0 rw initrd=0x20410000,0x800000 ramdisk_size=8200\'
saveenv
