I just got myself one of these:<br>
<a href="http://bddgroupllc.com/A-Series_Boards.php" target="_blank">http://bddgroupllc.com/A-Series_Boards.php</a><br>
<br>
and I'm trying to find a way to get Debian on the NAND flash with<br>
a real open-source /dev/mtd driver instead of this allwinner /dev/nand<br>
nonsense.<br>
<br>
My goal is to be able to make packages that follow the debian free<br>
software guidelines so I can hit the FEL boot button, and run something<br>
like 'a10bootstrap --board [wizard|eoma|cubie|mk802] wheezy [mirror]',<br>
and blow away all the binary nonsense and leave 100% libre software on<br>
the device NAND.<br>
<br>
Has anyone else had success with an A10 device and /dev/mtd?<br>
<br>
And to follow up on:<br>

<br>
If allwinner thinks MTD is out of date and block/sunxi_nand is better,<br>
then why the hell can't I find a flamewar on linux-kernel with a<br>
discussion about the relative merits of MTD vs block/sunxi_nand?<br>
<br>
Frankly, my impression is so far is that all the cell phone developers<br>
(aka, android) wrote their applications and SDK's to work around the<br>
limitations of block-layer 'emulation' on NAND, and nobody has taken<br>
the time to actually understand what JFFS2/YAFFS+MTD actually provide.<br>
