According to Turl, he pretty much is the only user of u-boot-sunxi/lichee-dev and android. Everyone else seems to just use the allwinner sdk directly. He suggested adding a define CONFIG_CMD_ANDROID or something, and some new board targets which have _android appended, which imho is a very good solution for this. But i cannot go and waste another X days on asking questions and figuring out how to build and install android and put it on NAND, just to test this. I have been on enough of a tangent the last few weeks already, and the RecentChanges page on linux-sunxi.org should speak for itself. The above patch is tested, and is now fully documented in http://linux-sunxi.org/Installing_to_NAND#Booting, and it will help out anyone who wants to install a standard linux to NAND. Turl is the only user of u-boot-sunxi/lichee-dev on android, his workflow is not documented, and he only very rarely updates u-boot for nand for android. Imho, whenever he gets round to updating his u-boot again, or when he gets a new device, he should implement the _android targets. My A13 tablet with a full linux on NAND is not going anywhere and the result can be tested easily. Failing that, there is a nice detailed howto there for how to test this on a full linux. It should take anyone who has worked through the manual build howto before an hour max.
