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
Thomas Gleixner97894cd2005-11-07 11:15:26 +000010 them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070011 particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N.

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070043 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
44 as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
45 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
46 devices performing that function.
47
Ezequiel Garcia6bc219b2021-08-01 20:45:07 -030048 Note that mounting a JFFS2 filesystem doesn't require using mtdblock.
49 It's possible to mount a rootfs using the MTD device on the "root="
50 bootargs as "root=mtd2" or "root=mtd:name_of_device".
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070051
52 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
53 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
54 this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
55 almost never written to.
