13 | Description: | |
14 | The /sys/class/mtd/mtd{0,1,2,3,...} directories correspond | |
15 | to each /dev/mtdX character device. These may represent | |
16 | physical/simulated flash devices, partitions on a flash | |
17 | device, or concatenated flash devices. They exist regardless | |
18 | of whether CONFIG_MTD_CHAR is actually enabled. | |

24 | Description: | |
25 | These directories provide the corresponding read-only device | |
26 | nodes for /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/ . They are only created | |
27 | (for the benefit of udev) if CONFIG_MTD_CHAR is enabled. | |

33 | Description: | |
34 | Major and minor numbers of the character device corresponding | |
35 | to this MTD device (in <major>:<minor> format). This is the | |
36 | read-write device so <minor> will be even. | |

42 | Description: | |
43 | Major and minor numbers of the character device corresponding | |
44 | to the read-only variant of thie MTD device (in | |
45 | <major>:<minor> format). In this case <minor> will be odd. | |

49 | KernelVersion: 2.6.29 | |
50 | Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org | |
51 | Description: | |
52 | "Major" erase size for the device. If numeraseregions is | |
53 | zero, this is the eraseblock size for the entire device. | |
54 | Otherwise, the MEMGETREGIONCOUNT/MEMGETREGIONINFO ioctls | |
55 | can be used to determine the actual eraseblock layout. | |

61 | Description: | |
62 | A hexadecimal value representing the device flags, ORed | |
63 | together: | |
64 | ||
65 | 0x0400: MTD_WRITEABLE - device is writable | |
66 | 0x0800: MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE - single bits can be flipped | |
67 | 0x1000: MTD_NO_ERASE - no erase necessary | |
68 | 0x2000: MTD_POWERUP_LOCK - always locked after reset | |

82 | Description: | |
83 | For devices that have variable eraseblock sizes, this | |
84 | provides the total number of erase regions. Otherwise, | |
85 | it will read back as zero. | |

115 | Description: | |
116 | Minimal writable flash unit size. This will always be | |
117 | a positive integer. | |
118 | ||
119 | In the case of NOR flash it is 1 (even though individual | |
120 | bits can be cleared). | |
121 | ||
122 | In the case of NAND flash it is one NAND page (or a | |
123 | half page, or a quarter page). | |
124 | ||
125 | In the case of ECC NOR, it is the ECC block size. |
