Project 8GB 1st Gen Nano..

<< < (3/3)

Spoonman:
ok, so that means the nano does not care about what size the memory actually is and can be extended to what ever size of memchip available?

mattylight:
any new word on this project...I love my first gen nano for the gym, and having a lot more memory would be absolutely awesome....

dreamlayers:
While the CPU accesses the flash as an ATA/IDE device, the flash chips themselves are just normal flash chips.  An SST55LD019K ATA Flash Disk Controller presents the flash as an ATA device.  (On this pic it's the leftmost chip on the bottom, nearest to the flash).

I didn't find a SST55LD019K datasheet, but there are SST55LD019A/SST55LD019B/SST55LD019C and SST55LD019M datasheets.

This seems quite promising:
--- Quote ---- Supports up to 8 flash media devices directly
- Supports up to 64 flash media devices with external decoding logic

--- End quote ---
If all the necessary pins are accessible, upgrading a Nano is possible.
