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.

LT
28 ---help---
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.
34
35 If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
36 MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable
97894cda 37 this option.
1da177e4

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