 JTAG is a common low level debug interface.  you can operate cpus in single step mode and flash nand/nor that way and do low level debugging.
 It is generally what developers use when developing low-level drivers, or as a recovery tool if you somehow destroyed your NOR flash (that's the code your embedded computer runs when you 1st turn it on)

 vivi is the old bootloader.

 You hook your mini2440 serial cable (striaght-through - not a crossover) up to a terminal emulator on your desktop PC to access vivi or u-boot.

 There are no working ports to this platform yet - rumours exist of a mostly-working port having been achieved to a similar platform recently, so it's probably not far off.

 If you're staring at "illegal instruction error" problems, and using arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72) 4.3.2, you need this:
   -msoft-float -D__GCC_FLOAT_NOT_NEEDED -march=armv4 -mtune=arm920t

+== Where do I get a mini2440? ==
 As of March '09 - there's 1 distributer in each of the USA, Japan, and Europe.  The mini2440 is made in China, and many sellers on eBay provide (unsupported) units, with Chinese instructions.  I know of only 2 distributer with English tools ( http://www.developmentboard.net, http://www.andahammer.com/ ) - please update this list if you can.
-=== How easy is it to "brick" a mini2440? ===
+== How easy is it to "brick" a mini2440? ==
+Basically you cannot really brick (kill) the unit - there is a NOR switch where you can boot from NOR in emergencies.  The rest of the time, you store new bootloaders etc in the NAND flash, and set the switch to boot from that.  If you kill your NOR too - you use the JTAG to fix that.
