They live side by side, as long they arent configured to access the same physical device, which is unlikely for NAND and NOR. > I plan on using the JFFS as the MTD client JFFS does not support NAND, JFFS2 does -- Thomas ____________________________________________________ linutronix - competence in embedded & realtime linux http://www.linutronix.de mail: tglx@linutronix.de
