RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple
|
||
|
|
'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase
|
||
|
|
blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives
|
||
|
|
the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the
|
||
|
|
flash.
|
||
|
|
|

If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
|
||
|
|
MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable
|
||
|
|
this option.

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

this and it is frequently useful for applications. This config option
