Cubieboard (Allwinner A10 ARMv7, 4GB onboard nand flash). Online instructions keep saying that the onboard nand flash can be accessed as a disk drive through /dev/nand[ab], /dev/nand[12] or some such, which would be really useful for installing a Linux system on (moving it from uSD card to nand flash). The device nodes /dev/nand* are simply absent. As far as I can tell they are handled by the sunxi_nand kernel module: # modprobe -v sunxi_nand insmod /lib/modules/3.19.3-1-default/kernel/drivers/mtd/mtd.ko insmod /lib/modules/3.19.3-1-default/kernel/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_ids.ko insmod /lib/modules/3.19.3-1-default/kernel/lib/bch.ko insmod /lib/modules/3.19.3-1-default/kernel/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_bch.ko insmod /lib/modules/3.19.3-1-default/kernel/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_ecc.ko insmod /lib/modules/3.19.3-1-default/kernel/drivers/mtd/nand/nand.ko insmod /lib/modules/3.19.3-1-default/kernel/drivers/mtd/nand/sunxi_nand.ko The modules load, but the devices remain absent. Problem exists on oS 13.2 armv7, and factory builds 269.1, 293.8 (latest as of now).
