They come with both NOR and NAND flash on the x86CORE boards. Unfortunately there is no MTD driver for=20 them, and while there is Linux support, it comes as part binary only. =46rom what I can see there is not enough formal documentation to=20 write a driver, but there are odd bits of information which someone knowledgable about with the MTD driver might be able to interpret into a real driver. You would be doing the Compulab users a favor if you built such a driver. There do also appear to be drivers for two of the AMD Elan SC520 reference boards, but at least one seems to have lots of comments in it saying that handling it is a kludge. The Compulab 586CORE is Elan SC520 based. Regards David
