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

31 | Support for concatenating several MTD devices into a single | |

38 | help |
39 | If you have a device which needs to divide its flash chip(s) up | |
40 | into multiple 'partitions', each of which appears to the user as | |
41 | a separate MTD device, you require this option to be enabled. If | |
42 | unsure, say 'Y'. | |
43 | ||
44 | Note, however, that you don't need this option for the DiskOnChip | |
45 | devices. Partitioning on NFTL 'devices' is a different - that's the | |
46 | 'normal' form of partitioning used on a block device. | |

60 | RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple | |
61 | 'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase | |
62 | blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives | |
63 | the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the | |
64 | flash. | |
65 | ||
66 | If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register | |
67 | MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable | |
97894cda | 68 | this option. |
1da177e4 LT |
69 | |
70 | You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver | |
97894cda TG |

198 | Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful | |
199 | as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based | |
200 | on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD | |
201 | devices performing that function. | |
202 | ||
203 | At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File | |
204 | System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted | |
205 | (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality | |
206 | of the mtdblock device). | |
207 | ||
208 | Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles | |
209 | on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say, | |
210 | this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are | |
