The Nook Color is an OMAP3621 based 7" tablet produced by Barnes and Noble as an lcd-based e-Reader. At the same time, it serves as quite a handy target for MeeGo due to the similar SoC.

Nook Hardware Adaptation for Mer
The Nook Color has a particularly well done boot sequence, in that it will default to boot from the SD card slot if plugged into a PC and powered on with a bootable card inserted.
A baseline .ks can be found here, which builds a 3 partition, ~4GB disk image that the OMAP3 will correctly boot from.
