  45. RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple

  47. blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives
  48. the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the

  101. Due to the way Linux handles the command line, no spaces are
  102. allowed in the partition definition, including mtd id's and partition

  156. Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful

  161. System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted

  163. of the mtdblock device).
  164. Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
