Nand Firmware Update?

[Auritribe]

Well, now that it's been pretty much confirmed that 2GB cards dont wrk with this firmware, I'm in a bit of a bind. I am only picking up a 2GB card when I get the GP2X, its already pre-ordered off of gp32z.com

I was wondering when the update comes out that allows for >1GB cards, if its possible for me to update the firmware via NAND instead of buying an extra SD card??

Unfortunately I think you're out of luck. The nand flash is currently locked from user access. It's another bug that they plan to fix in a firmware update. I think the easiest solution would be to borrow a card from someone and update the firmware. Other than that I have no ideas, sorry.

It can't be flashed via USB?

Im not sure about this but I think the 2X will still see 1GB of your 2GB card its not great but its better than nothing

So its confirmed the firmware update is down via SD?

You are indeed correct, you have learnt well young padawan....

Even if it didst, I picked up a 128meg SD off ebay for 99p a few months ago when I needed a lil backup card for my palm

Higly unlikely.
However, you could try to partition it.
never trust a spam fisher.

Actually, you can mount NAND memory, but I don't remember correctly
(It might something like /mnt/nand whatever)

They say it will fixed also in future, but I never even try to mount (and use) this memory.
