Cygnos360 V2 With 512 Nand? Options

[niai]

to use this on a jasper would it just be as easy as puting a 2gb/4gb nand on it insted of the 16mb


would the usb interface still work
if not will the cygnos v1 work then

Won't work yet Nand size is different

[niai]

i know the nand is a different size i am asking what if i replase the 512 nand thats on it with a 2-4 gig nand what ever i have (the same size of the jasper nand) would it work then i cant see why it wouldnt

[letsmod]

we wont known until cygnos v2 gets released which should be soon

[niai]

but the 1st gen should work and i have one


i think i am going to try it out where would be the best place to get an identical nand chip and what is the actual size of the nand

[letsmod]

I would assume the same NAND as v1, but no one but cygnos and beta testers will know as they have not even started selling them yet

It depends on how 'hard coded' cygnos is to it's onboard NAND, if it's just handling switching chip select or chip enable and giving direct leads to the NAND it's quite possible a swap may be do-able (though I can't see any reason why they'd use an ASIC to do this?) - but because cygnos2 is meant to be able to access both NAND from USB, then it is likely a question only cygnos could answer on that one.

Keep in mind, there is much different electrically/internally between 8-16-32-64M NAND and the much larger 256-512M ones, first but not least is a huge difference in internal page size and spare layout. Adapting pinout could be the easy part.

ok new idea now seen as it will be nicer cheaper and easier
i would like to ad a xd card instead of the nand what is the size of the jasper nand as i am getting mixed messages all over bout this

and if it is 2gb witch is what i think it is now i can use a 2gb xd card
but can type M and H be used


edit
how would i go bout getting this topic title changed
and i dont know what would be a better name but the one i have now is wrong cos it was back when i thort the nand was 512mb in size

thanks any one know of any pen drives with a compatible nand

[cory1492]

AFAIK they used samsung 3.3V 256MiB (2gigabit) and 512MiB (4gigabit) nands in the jaspers (so far), best bet is to source the actual part or look for a small package flash drive that looks to fit only one NAND chip (if you don't mind soldering to a ball mount package a 256 or 512 MS Duo should have the right size nand, not sure if those ones are 3.3V tolerant though - nor how readily available these days.)
