yep, there you go. that's what i recall using [over 4 months ago]
and i remember it working correctly.
ok, so i have a small update on this already: the driver is there and is working in the sunxi-3.4 branch, i built all the pieces in the kernel and i now have from /dev/nanda to /dev/nandj
awesome!
nanda is the boot partition, nandd seems the ext4 root, nande a 512m vfat partition, nandh and nandi empty ext4 ones, nandj a 2gb vfat one. all the other seems to not be accessible
i don't know what they're for.
i suppose this layouthas to be maintained?
not at all. the only critical one from what i gather is that the 1st partition has to start at a very specific offset (or, more specifically, the start of boot0 has to be at a hard-coded absolute
ok, good news
henrik committed the A20 SDK to lichee-a20-dev so that would be a good place to start investigating. several others have copies as well i'm sure.
ahhhhh here we go: https://github.com/hno/allwinner-boot/tree/d29c34b7f221979724275b4861c50de 3bd5b47fb
that's the one.
ok.
I also found this on the wiki http://linux-sunxi.org/Installing_to_NAND_from_SD_card
does seem still reliable? (seems a bit old in this case "sun4i should be replaced with sun7i?) that tutorial i suppose maintains boot0 and boot1 from the default android image
