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

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

46 help
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.

59 ---help---
60 RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple
61 'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase
62 blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives
63 the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the
64 flash.
65
66 If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
67 MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable
97894cda 68 this option.

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