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

29 RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple
30 'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase
31 blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives
32 the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the
33 flash.

36 MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable

174 ---help---
175 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
176 as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
177 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
178 devices performing that function.
179
180 At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
181 System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
182 (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
183 of the mtdblock device).
184
185 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
186 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
187 this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
188 almost never written to.
