Hello,

I've a embedded board with 1GB NAND flash memory from Samsung.
(The model number of the flash memory is
SAMSUNG 640, K9K8G08U0A)
I want to use NFTL to mount the flash memory by FAT filesystem.

But NFTL does not work for me. I found that MTD failed to
find boot record in nftlmount.c source.

It try to find out ANAND header from the MTD device. But it fails
to find out.

if (retlen < 6 || memcmp(buf, "ANAND", 6)) {
continue;
}

What is ANAND header?

Is it possible to use NFTL for mounting FAT on MTD device in my
environment?

Thank you in advance!
