I've just improved the website a bit to be more correct. L4Linux has a
different repository. So, you need l4linux from the l4linux repository
and l4linux-2.6-env from the tudos repository.

Running system software on custom hardware nearly always needs adaptions
to this hardware. Fiasco must support the interrupt controller, timer,
UART of the platform to work at all. Looking at the website I fear that
all of this must be implemented first. I'm not familiar with hw from
this vendor. But as there's Linux available for this platform this
should be doable.
