Another place to ask would be:

   http://lists.celinuxforum.org/mailman/listinfo/celinux-dev

Which is the mailing list for the elinux.org wiki. It used to be Tim  
Bird's Consumer Electronic Linux Forum project, but unfortunately the  
Linux Foundation gobbled up CELF and turned it into The Linux  
Foundation Embedded Linux Conference By The Linux Foundation, and again  
discussion on the list tailed off.

It does have the advantage that it's got developers for actual  
electronics manufacturers (mostly japanese) subscribed to it...

Once upon a time busybox.net was collecting some of these:

   http://busybox.net/tinyutils.html

But that largely seems to have rolled to a stop since I handed it off...

The group of guys on #edev on freenode are quite knowledgeable about  
hardware stuff...
