[OLPC-devel] NAND Flash Performance: IDE Interface Hack

Hi, Folks,

To relay a message from Steve Polzin at AMD, it looks like the IDE trick 
won't deliver the performance that we'll need, since software ECC 
computations are apparently the performance bottleneck (he didn't relay 
the actual numbers, however).

It sounds like we'll have to keep digging for other alternative 
solutions.  Any word on the investigations into using the NAND Flash 
controller on the Marvell wireless chip?

Sorry!
