What kind of NFC (NAND Flash Controller) would you use for the STM32
target? Their FSMC (Flexible Static Memory Controller) is embedded on
some STM32s. It has a NAND flash controller with hardware ECC support;
the NFC itself appears to just offer access to the NAND control/data
lines, so a driver might be based on my example GPIO NFC implementation.
Or would you choose some other option than FSMC, like some separate NFC
chip, or doing NFC with GPIOs?
As we have an STM32 with FSMC I would go for a solution using the FSMC, yes.
I am most willing to support you during development, as best as I can of
course. Caveat: I never did anything with synth. How would one go about
a synth NAND driver?
I do everything with synth :) It's really great for development and
testing. I still have to get into the whole NAND architecture but
ultimately the synth NAND driver would just simulate a NFC/NAND combo
and read/write to a file on the host.
