FAQ

* Why are there are 2 different flash chips?
- the idea is to make the device (almost!) unbrickable and very easy to recover
- NAND will hold the main loader (U-Boot) and the Linux image and will be the 
default boot device
- NOR will be write-protected by default (with WP jumper available on the 
board) and will hold a recovery bootloader (and other essential data, like 
Wi-Fi calibration)
- a dedicated boot select switch will allow changing between NOR and NAND

No Idea how MTK factory calibration data is individual per-device.

If it's possible, I'd like to propose a archive of the radio-calibration / 
MAC-Address partition.

So this would be used to enable people download their calibration data for 
their serial-number and
make it "unbrickable" with an SPI clamp.

What do you think?

Best
David
