Hi, thanks for responding. Sorry for the late reply, I needed to

I have plenty of free space. I have at least 25% on a UBIFS which, to
my understanding, means that there is at least that much free space
available on the NAND flash.

After exploring this issue some more, it seems that there is an LDO
configuration issue. This board does not have a driver for controlling
the pmic and therefore can't be put into bypass mode (which is how it
is wired). I will consider this thread moot since it doesn't really
have anything to do with the different packages included. Thanks for
your help, Otavio.
