  44. ---help---
  45. RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple
  46. 'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase
  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
  49. flash.
  50. If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
  51. MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable
  52. this option.
  53. You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
  54. for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
  55. SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for
  56. example.

  89. different kinds of flash memory are available.
  90. You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver

  96. <mtddef> := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
  97. <partdef> := <size>[@offset][<name>][ro]

  99. <size> := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all
  100. remaining space
  101. <name> := (NAME)
  102. Due to the way Linux handles the command line, no spaces are
  103. allowed in the partition definition, including mtd id's and partition
  104. names.
  105. Examples:
  106. 1 flash resource (mtd-id "sa1100"), with 1 single writable partition:
  107. mtdparts=sa1100:-
  108. Same flash, but 2 named partitions, the first one being read-only:

  153. Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
  154. as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
  155. on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
  156. devices performing that function.
  157. At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
  158. System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
  159. (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
  160. of the mtdblock device).
  161. Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
  162. on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
  163. this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
  164. almost never written to.
