More research is needed. TI may provide some useful tools; Qemu can emulate some ARMs but I don't know for sure if it can emulate our ARM7TDMI Cortex A8 precisely, or at a usable speed.

Qemu does not have the Cortex A8 or any OMAP3xxx chipsets. This will be a major undertaking unless TI has an emulator.

Replying to simpsoco:

Qemu does not have the Cortex A8 or any OMAP3xxx chipsets. This will be a major undertaking unless TI has an emulator.

There are unofficial branches of qemu that have omap3 support. I've gotten qemu-omap3 working with beagleboard images awhile ago. See this site for basic instructions and you can pull down the newest code that should work from the maemo project at this site.
