it's full source code available, for both versions (all GPLv2 compliant).
the first version from allwinner is... odd. they didn't do an MTD design,
and they extended the block size beyond that of a normal NAND write-block...
very weird. anyway it works.
the second is a rewrite to conform to MTD, it's experimental, it's now
working... sort-of, just be careful. available in u-boot and mainline (or at
least in sunxi-next).
yes it would be a libre storage device, these are cheap-and-cheerful raw nand
devices.
trisquel isn't one of the suggested OSes because there's no ARM port. or,
not an up-to-date one. we looked. couldn't find one. at least now this is
modern enough hardware to consider making a port.
