So what does this mean for the future of OpenWrt on NAND based devices?
It seems like there are quite a few new and upcoming devices making use
of NAND flash exclusively. If squashfs (which according to me has been
the filesystem of choice on my openwrt installations) is not it good
shape, are we throwing in the towel? Surely, there must be some hope for
OpenWrt users for these new devices.
Hi,
why so negative ? no one said we are throwing the towel ... in general those
targets using nand need to be converted to using an intermediate layer such
as ubi, which several targets already do.
I don't understand that. What do you mean by some targets using UBI? I
its a straight forward sentence, please explain which part you don't
understand
thought it's filesystem that has to be modified to use extra layer
was not aware of this, jffs2 works fine on top of ubi. ubi is a
intermediate translation layer that exposes mtd device to the api above it.
(like UBI). How a target (like ar71xx, brcm47xx, x86, whatever) can
make squashfs use UBI?
you should use jffs for example. although squash should work it makes no
sense really to use it.
Which OpenWrt's targets are using UBI?
let me run grep fou you
grep "FEATURES:=.*ubi" target/linux/* -r
target/linux/omap35xx/Makefile:FEATURES:=ubifs targz broken
target/linux/xburst/Makefile:FEATURES:=jffs2 targz ubifs audio
