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? --=20 Regards, Oleksij --HBFFQX97awWxH6mXmbqKBWNip8IEf2wFq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlUVdk4ACgkQHwImuRkmbWlChQD/aDyuROos23XJlTR2BcUigXaC zwNZRDDwgfjlI2zOETIA/230ocFyd+ZiwvVK96cq1OWzhZY2CQge1D3xK78AWah0 =B+fl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HBFFQX97awWxH6mXmbqKBWNip8IEf2wFq--
