Hi Thomas. [cc'ing the FreedomBox list - assuming discrete post was accidental]

If there's a good reason not to, please save me from > myself! :) To boot from NAND, both U-boot and Linux need a driver for the controller chip on the board to access it. Debian (and FreedomBox) uses mainline U-boot and Linux. Olimex LIME/LIME2 boards rely on the Allwinner A20 SoC to access NAND. Driver for A20 SoC to access NAND is not yet in a usable state: http://linux-sunxi.org/Mainline_NAND_Howto Details too geeky for me seemingly also covering U-boot: http://linux-sunxi.org/MTD_Driver Just avoid that board - pick a non-storage-glued-on board or the eMMC board instead!
