I know there have been some discussions at past OLS about some testing that Martin was working on.
http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/view_abstract.php?content_key=13
But I think this was more functional tests, less unit tests that what you are talking/asking about.

Also - If I remember - most of the existing tests were for a self hosted environment - and might not be well suited to embedded (like Blackfin) which requires cross compile, and pretty thin runtime environment (uClibc + busybox's msh as shell).
Martin?
