Progress of ECN0002 (Remove NOR)?

   ECN0002 (Remove NOR) is still in the "Edit" state. What's missing?

1) Add Author: field.
2) Remove nNOR_WP from debug connector.

   Anything else?

Done too.

The software impact: how to make sure Qi and kernel don't get upset if
there's no NOR. Qi itself doesn't know about NOR, but the boot parameter
line has to change.

This got me thinking - is there a better way to track software changes
than in our ecns?  Maybe using tickets or milestones in trac?

Hmm, one problem with trac is that it's easy to lose track (heh :)
of the issues you're interested in. A separate component for
gta02-core and the use of custom queries could improve this, but
it's still somewhat clumsy.

Anyway, I didn't mean to use the ECNs for software "to do" lists or
even revision control. The "software impact" is merely a reminder
that something also has to be done on the software side.

Done. I've set it to "Discuss" now.

For Qi and the kernel, I've blissfully assumed that we'll abandon the
old NAND partitioning scheme as well, and use NAND just to store Qi.

In a "product", NAND may also serve as a place to keep fundamental
configuration parameters, like in the factory partition of GTA02.
Be we don't need to worry about that for gta02-core at the moment.

Also this one is just a review of ECN and implementation away from
being closed.
