We are working on more mainline support for all kinds of peripherals for the MX23 and MX28, but until now, nobody has started with NAND yet. As far as I remember, the FSL code was really, really uggly, so it will probably need an experienced look at the design. I suppose that there will be not much activity over the holidays, so if you want to go ahead, keep the list informed. rsc -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
