ok so the a20 board's nand ic is recognised in software... but *not*
by the eGON bootloader ROM: it's too modern.  i'm going to have to
find an older (lower-capacity) TSSOP-48 NAND IC.  arse.

the rk3288 board is *almost* up: the i2c bus for the PMICs appears to
be non-operational (reason yet to be determined but most likely to be
a short-circuit) which, when the linux kernel tries to initialise each
of the PMICs hangs on accessing the I2C bus.  when i replaced the I2C
pullup resistors with 1.5k instead of 2.2k then SD/MMC refused to
boot!  only thing i can think of is, the short is pulling the 3.3v
power rail down enough to affect the SD/MMC. i'll keep investigating.
