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 -0700110 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
111 as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
112 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
113 devices performing that function.
114
115 At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
116 System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
117 (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
118 of the mtdblock device).
119
120 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
121 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
122 this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
123 almost never written to.

126 those, enable NFTL support (CONFIG_NFTL) instead.
