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
10 them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for
11 particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N.

27 tristate "RedBoot partition table parsing"
28 ---help---
29 RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple
30 'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase
31 blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives
32 the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the
33 flash.
34
35 If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
36 MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable
37 this option.
38
39 You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
40 for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
41 SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for
42 example.

53
54 The option specifies which Flash sectors holds the RedBoot
55 partition table. A zero or positive value gives an absolute
56 erase block number. A negative value specifies a number of
57 sectors before the end of the device.
58

82 different kinds of flash memory are available.
83
84 You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver

86 SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for

92 <mtddef> := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
93 <partdef> := <size>[@offset][<name>][ro]
94 <mtd-id> := unique id used in mapping driver/device
95 <size> := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all
96 remaining space
97 <name> := (NAME)
98
99 Due to the way Linux handles the command line, no spaces are
100 allowed in the partition definition, including mtd id's and partition
101 names.
102
103 Examples:
104
105 1 flash resource (mtd-id "sa1100"), with 1 single writable partition:
106 mtdparts=sa1100:-
107
108 Same flash, but 2 named partitions, the first one being read-only:

181 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
182 as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
183 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
184 devices performing that function.
185
186 At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
187 System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
188 (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
189 of the mtdblock device).
190
191 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
192 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
193 this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
194 almost never written to.

331 leaves the master in even if the device is partitioned. It also makes
