Yes, that's exactly what you should do.

It's not an issue with partitions at all, the problem starts earlier: The kernel does not detect any NAND flash device. If this thing is like the other RouterBoard devices, you either need to use one of the existing rb*_nand.c drivers, or (if they don't work) make a new one. For that, you need to pass the appropriate platform data. With a bit of luck, this one will be similar to the RB912 device that I worked on yesterday, you might be able to copy some code from mach-rb91x.c. By the way, the tree your work with for your changes should be my staging tree: https://git.lede-project.org/?p=lede/nbd/staging.git;a=summary In that tree, I've finished the conversion of ar71xx/mikrotik to UBI yesterday, which simplifies handling of the NAND flash stuff a lot. - Felix _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
