Can anybody confirm me if FAT is part of the FTL standard? If yes, how is it supposed to be used with MTD? If not, what can be needed to do that? As we have a flash NAND memory on board, maybe it'd need a nftl driver similar to the DOC one. Correct me if I'm wrong. I understood that JFFS2 is a better tuned option for FS than FAT, but we had a legacy FAT system and it could be useful to maintain the DOS media compatibility if possible, and we want to be sure what design options we have.
