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 LT |
11 | particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N. |

19 | This option includes various MTD tests into compilation. The tests | |
20 | should normally be compiled as kernel modules. The modules perform | |
21 | various checks and verifications when loaded. | |

23 | WARNING: some of the tests will ERASE entire MTD device which they |

43 | 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 | ||
48 | At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File | |
49 | System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted | |
50 | (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality | |
51 | of the mtdblock device). | |
52 | ||
53 | Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles | |
54 | on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say, | |
55 | this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are | |
56 | almost never written to. | |
57 | ||
58 | You do not need this option for use with the DiskOnChip devices. For | |
59 | those, enable NFTL support (CONFIG_NFTL) instead. | |
