4 | Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often | |
5 | used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. This option | |
6 | will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register | |
7 | themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices | |
8 | to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on | |
97894cda | 9 | them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for |
1da177e4 LT |
10 | particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N. |

28 | RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple | |
29 | 'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase | |
30 | blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives | |
31 | the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the | |
32 | flash. | |
33 | ||
34 | If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register | |
35 | MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable | |
97894cda | 36 | this option. |

174 | Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful | |
175 | as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based | |
176 | on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD | |
177 | devices performing that function. | |
178 | ||
179 | At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File | |
180 | System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted | |
181 | (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality | |
182 | of the mtdblock device). | |
183 | ||
184 | Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles | |
185 | on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say, | |
186 | this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are | |
187 | almost never written to. | |
188 | ||
