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
97894cda 10 them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for
1da177e4

47 If you have a device which needs to divide its flash chip(s) up
48 into multiple 'partitions', each of which appears to the user as
49 a separate MTD device, you require this option to be enabled. If
50 unsure, say 'Y'.
51
52 Note, however, that you don't need this option for the DiskOnChip
53 devices. Partitioning on NFTL 'devices' is a different - that's the
54 'normal' form of partitioning used on a block device.

61 RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple
62 'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase

64 the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the

202 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
203 as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
204 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
205 devices performing that function.
206
207 At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
208 System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
209 (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
210 of the mtdblock device).
211
212 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
213 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
214 this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
215 almost never written to.
