/dev/nand missing on A20 board

Postby Zaxter » Wed Jun 15, 2016 8:01 am

I have a custom A20 board with NAND based off the Olimex A20 Micro.
I don't see /dev/nand on it. I've used a lot of different images but it just doesn't show up.

I can confirm that the respective kernel config parameters are set.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
$ zgrep NAND /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_SUNXI_NAND_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_SUNXI_NAND=y
# CONFIG_SUNXI_NAND_COMPAT_DEV is not set
# CONFIG_SUNXI_NAND_TEST is not set
')

I even tried to Livesuite an Android NAND image, but it also failed. Here's the log:

What does it normally mean to have a missing /dev/nand?

NAND support was just added (partially) to the 4.6 kernel and no board has support for it out of the box (AFAIK).
You can try to manually add the needed entries to your device tree file (when you type of NAND is supported right now)
