First get a sane arm cross toolchain. I used OpenEmbedded
(http://git.devl.org/?p=malvira/mc1322x-oe.git;a=summary). OE can be a
huge pain.

Jon has had success with this toolchain:

Then you can clone our contiki tree:

   git clone git://git.devl.org/git/malvira/contiki-mc1322x.git

and start building the examples. The mc1322x code is in cpu/mc1322x
and platform/mc1322x.

In Contiki I've been testing RIME with example-abc.c example-mesh.c
and example-collect.c (in examples/rime).

There are also all the tests in mc1322x-tests: 

   git clone git://git.devl.org/git/malvira/mc1322x-tests.git

With prebuilt binaries at:

I prefer RedBee, but that's because I'm the one selling them!

I've done some testing with the Freescale USB sticks and they seem to
work fine.
