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
Thomas Gleixner97894cd2005-11-07 11:15:26 +00009 them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for

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.

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.
