Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often

used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. This option
|
|
will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register
|
|
themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices
|
|
to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on
|
|
them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for
|

particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N.

tristate "RedBoot partition table parsing"
|
|
---help---
|
|
RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple
|
|
'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase
|
|
blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives
|
|
the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the
|
|
flash.
|
|
|
|
If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
|
|
MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable
|
|
this option.
|
|
|
|
You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
|
|
for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
|
|
SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for
|
|
example.

This option is the Linux counterpart to the

option.
|

The option specifies which Flash sectors holds the RedBoot

|
partition table. A zero or positive value gives an absolute
|
|
erase block number. A negative value specifies a number of
|
|
sectors before the end of the device.

For example "2" means block number 2, "-1" means the last
|
|
block and "-2" means the penultimate block.

Allow generic configuration of the MTD partition tables via the kernel
|
|
command line. Multiple flash resources are supported for hardware where
|
|
different kinds of flash memory are available.
|
|
|
|
You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver

for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
|
|
SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for
|
|
example.
|
|
|
|
The format for the command line is as follows:
|
|
|
|
mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef]
|
|
<mtddef> := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
|
|
<partdef> := <size>[@offset][<name>][ro]

|
<mtd-id> := unique id used in mapping driver/device
|
|
<size> := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all
|
|
remaining space
|
|
<name> := (NAME)
|
|
|
|
Due to the way Linux handles the command line, no spaces are
|
|
allowed in the partition definition, including mtd id's and partition
|
|
names.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
1 flash resource (mtd-id "sa1100"), with 1 single writable partition:
|
|
mtdparts=sa1100:-
|
|
|

Same flash, but 2 named partitions, the first one being read-only:
|
|
mtdparts=sa1100:256k(ARMboot)ro,-(root)

If unsure, say 'N'.

|
|
Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful

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