Not sure if i can suggest you exact board. Probably i can give you some
direction. Since you wish to play with file system, then you probably
need some think bigger then 8MB of storage. In this case NAND will be
better choice.
You will need a SOC/Board with:
- NAND controller
- as match open as possible - you will need to work with latest vanilla
kernel source.

- MIPS Creator CI20
- ASM9260t eval board (i work on upstreaming. if you wish to work on
this, we can talk about it)

Other options with nand on board? Or other suggestions?
