I'd be more interested in upgrading the rootfs. It would make the maemo to Meego transition way smoother.

That'd involve replacing the OneNAND.
It'd be a lot better to simply modify NOLO/replace it with uBoot and mount the OneNAND as /boot, and the whole eMMC as / . Probably we can work an exported myDocs partition using HAL/DBus, and NOT rely on using genfstab.

That is just an example, every component may have a different maximum temp and heating rates... I don't know wich would be the actual parameters for a mobile phone... and with components so close to each others shielding the surrounding chips may be very ineffective...

With larger PCBs evenly heating the board is really an issue, but I don't know in this case...

but anyway... this is just talk! I would not try it unless I get an N950 first! :-D and we even don't know if the chips are compatible at all...

Yeah, I wouldn't risk my N900 to upgrade the eMMC.
It's pretty much the only phone out there that has what I need (Maemo) and the power to do it (600 MHz OMAP3).

I don't even know if I can find a replacement N900 should I lose mine

Even, if these were compatible with N900 we couldn't just order couple. We would need to order thousands or try to get some samples thought some company.

Yup, I know that. I just ordered a sample 3530 from TI. Not that I'm going to try to jam that in. That's a big NOPE.

Probably a lengthy email to their sales department MIGHT convince them. Proooooobably.

TI has a great sample program, they never have denied me a sample and they ship it worldwide, free of charge

Anyway... I must say I needed their samples for real electronics projects, i didn't lie when i filled their form, if you ask for a uP just to have it collecting dust maybe you will get another answer

Nah, it's not going to collect dust. I'm going to try to build a poor-man's Beagleboard.

I obvoiously do NOT have board production equipment, so it might be a few boards thick, every layer manually etched D:

I take it you haven't seen this thread? When I first read the thread I wondered if it would be possible to upgrade the emmc, but couldn't find any for sale - not that I have the skills to do so.

I don't know if he is interested, but maybe Durango would do a swap for a working device? They go for about £130 on ebay.

Yeah, I've seen the thread. Even if I did have a spare N900 on hand, I still wouldn't know where to pick up a 128GB eMMC.
