The GL.iNet GL-AR300M series of devices includes variants without NAND and only the 16 MB NOR flash. These include the GL-AR300M16 and the GL-AR300M-Lite (already with its own board name). This board-name addition provides disambiguation from the NAND-bearing GL-AR300M devices, both for OpenWrt code and for end users. Kernel and firmware support for NAND and UBI will add ~320 kB to the overall firmware size at this time. This NOR-only option continues to provide more compact firmware for both the GL-AR300M16 as well as those who wish to use it as an alternate or primary, NOR-resident firmware on the GL-AR300M. The ar71xx targets are unmodified. Installation ------------ Install through OEM U-Boot (HTTP-based) or `sysupgrade --force` when booted from NOR and running OEM or OpenWrt, NOR-based firmware. As one of the intentions is disambiguation from NAND-bearing units, users who have flashed this firmware onto a device with NAND would need to use U-Boot or `sysupgrade --force` to flash firmware that again supports NAND. There are no additional SUPPORTED_DEVICES as it is not possible to determine if a device does or does not have NAND based on either the OEM's or OpenWrt's board names prior to this patch.
