Rockbox has no pieces of Linux in it and Rockbox currently doesn't run on any dm320 target...
For my views on the dm320 arch, I posted some on the Neuros-DM320 list:

And maybe some tapers could replace more complex setups with a single device. Storage is important, of course, but due to cost we may have to settle for 4/8GB of flash, at least initially.

I agree - having such a tiny amount of storage would make this extremely un-interesting for me.
Llorean:
How would using a CompactFlash drive for storage compare? Still flash, they can offload the cost of large storage on the purchaser, and more flexible for the user?

I realize Rockbox does not use Linux, my point was that we already have a bootstrapped software environment for the hardware, including source. Surely, that would help a Rockbox port?
