Hi Matteo, Thank you for these suggestions!
Yes, we should include EEPROM and NOR Flash. NAND Flash is something new on NuttX, last year Saurav creed MnemoFS dedicated to NAND flash, but all tests were done in the simulator. I have some W25N01GVZEIG here (datasheet: https://br.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Winbond/W25N01GVZEIG?qs=qSfuJ%252Bfl%2Fd6Vfx%252BkNMbzhw%3D%3D&srsltid=AfmBOoqvm1uuNmZTqx3uv6zCzCVDMCPeqtrSCjgtkiXDjzNekalyBsAr ), maybe we could add it and create a driver to it to test with MnemoFS. It could be a good way to evolve with NAND support and testing.
