this sounds weird / not quite right. the R8 (aka A13, aka the A10) should be able to use the same sunxi 3.4.104+ kernel source as i've been using for the A20, which has the (sunxi, libre) NAND driver in it. afaik they didn't change the NAND hardware from the A10/A20 to the A13 to the R8 so this should be a non-issue. also from what i gather there's been mainline support for the (completely different, MTD-compatible) NAND driver for quite some time, so again, should be a non-issue. perhaps someone could ask on #linux-sunxi and/or their mailing list for confirmation of the facts? l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
