			==Development==

			We need an open-source reimplementation of the [[Nano2G FTL\|Samsung Whimory FTL]] used in S5L-based iPods. This will allow us to access the FAT/HFS partition on NAND from any open source software. The FTL is a complex piece of software, and it needs a high-quality, clean-room implementation for reliable read/write access.

As a result, Apple patched it on the [[Nano 4G]] and even patched the original firmware on the [[Nano 5G]] (thus making it impossible to downgrade to a vulnerable firmware).

	Testers are always good to have, and its also a good way to help out if you don't want to spend much time on the project or don't know much about development.
