In the end, the main missing part is the NAND but I guess this is the
same for all Aramda 370/XP boards and this is not a big issue as it is
still possible to interact w/ it via u-boot and install a set of
uImage/uInitramfs that way. 

What's the big blocker for this?  Once this is done, debian should be
able to add support for this board.  After all, upgrading the kernel and
initrd from userspace is a desirable option.

The big blocker is that no-one has written  the driver for it. It is
still on our (Free Electrons) TODO-list, but not as a top-priority item
for the moment.

Ok.

Ezequiel had started to do some preliminary cleanup work on the
pxa3xx-nand driver, with the ultimate goal of making it support Armada
370/XP (because the IP in the Armada 370/XP is apparently an evolution
of the PXA3xx NAND controller), but our priorities shifted to those
other topics. We will back on it some day, but I can't say when at the
moment.

Is this under contract?  If so, I don't want to take it from you.  If it
isn't, perhaps Ezequiel and Arnaud could mind-meld?

thx,

Jason.
