Sorry, even if there was a driver for it, there is no Filesystem designed to use eMMC or NAND directly. My understanding is typically the flash controller provides a standardized SATA path for accessing the NAND as if it's a disk (yet another developer make speak more to this). GNU/Linux equivalent is yaffs or jfs2 (I think). Cheers, Russ
