yes, it is a problem: NAND support for the Allwinner chips as used on the Olinuxino A20 boards is still not available in the mainline_ kernel, and thus I don't believe they are usable with freedombox (at least not in an easy way). .. _mainline: http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort > https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-4GB/open-source-hardware BTW, The MICRO is not a variant of the LIME2, is an older, bigger board which has more connectors (analog audio, vga with a mechanical adapter, easier to access GPIOs for hobbists), but is also a bit more expansive, and it exists in two variants, with and without NAND. The LIME2 also has a variant which includes a NAND (A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-4GB). AFAIK Olimex only sells a nice closed box for the LIME boards, for the MICRO they only have a plexiglass enclosure that is open on the sides; this may be an issue for the FBX, altought it isn't anything that can't be solved with a visit to a local hackspace and/or a 3D printer. -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
