The first step should be knowing the FLASH models. In compiler flags, we see:

Quote:
This section describes the complier flags.
• MCU—Indicates the type of i.MX SoC.
— mx31: i.MX31 chip
— mx32: i.MX32 chip
— mx27: i.MX27 chip
— mx35: i.MX35 chip
— mx37: i.MX37 chip
— mx51: i.MX51 chip
— mx25: i.MX25 chip
• REV—Indicates i.MX SoC revision version.
— to1: Revision 1
— to2: Revision 2
• FLASH_TYPE—Indicates the type of flash.
— nor: NOR Flash
— nand: NAND Flash
— mmc: MMC
— sd: SD

NOTE
mmc and sd are not available on all i.MX processors.
• FLASH_MODEL— Indicates the flash model
— spansion: NOR Flash S71WS256ND0/SG29GL512N
MCU is known: mx35.
REV? I don't know.
FLASH_TYPE? I'm focused on NAND (Am I right?) but others are important. What's exactly the NAND Flash used for Kindle 3? Do we have a detailed name and specification of it, like "SG29GL512N"?
This is the table from User's Guide:


Now I'm looking at Kindle 3 WIFI+3G disassembley. It may help find out more:

Btw, do you think we should start new threads for discussing ATK, custom kernels, etc or you feel comfortable here?
