1menuconfig MTD 2 tristate "Memory Technology Device (MTD) support" 3 help 4 Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often 5 used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. This option 6 will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register 7 themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices 8 to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on 9 them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for 10 particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N. 11 12if MTD 13 14config MTD_TESTS 15 tristate "MTD tests support (DANGEROUS)" 16 depends on m 17 help 18 This option includes various MTD tests into compilation. The tests 19 should normally be compiled as kernel modules. The modules perform 20 various checks and verifications when loaded. 21 22 WARNING: some of the tests will ERASE entire MTD device which they 23 test. Do not use these tests unless you really know what you do. 24 25config MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS 26 tristate "RedBoot partition table parsing" 27 help 28 RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple 29 'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase 30 blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives 31 the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the 32 flash. 33 34 If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register 35 MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable 36 this option. 37 38 You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver 39 for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The 40 SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for 41 example. 42 43if MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS 44 45config MTD_REDBOOT_DIRECTORY_BLOCK 46 int "Location of RedBoot partition table" 47 default "-1" 48 help 49 This option is the Linux counterpart to the 50 CYGNUM_REDBOOT_FIS_DIRECTORY_BLOCK RedBoot compile time 51 option. 52 53 The option specifies which Flash sectors holds the RedBoot 54 partition table. A zero or positive value gives an absolute 55 erase block number. A negative value specifies a number of 56 sectors before the end of the device. 57 58 For example "2" means block number 2, "-1" means the last 59 block and "-2" means the penultimate block. 60 61config MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS_UNALLOCATED 62 bool "Include unallocated flash regions" 63 help 64 If you need to register each unallocated flash region as a MTD 65 'partition', enable this option. 66 67config MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS_READONLY 68 bool "Force read-only for RedBoot system images" 69 help 70 If you need to force read-only for 'RedBoot', 'RedBoot Config' and 71 'FIS directory' images, enable this option. 72 73endif # MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS 74 75config MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS 76 tristate "Command line partition table parsing" 77 depends on MTD 78 help 79 Allow generic configuration of the MTD partition tables via the kernel 80 command line.

It won't happen automatically. The 85 SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for 86 example. 87 88 The format for the command line is as follows: 89 90 mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef] 91 <mtddef> := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>] 92 <partdef> := <size>[@offset][<name>][ro] 93 <mtd-id> := unique id used in mapping driver/device 94 <size> := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all 95 remaining space 96 <name> := (NAME) 97 98 Due to the way Linux handles the command line, no spaces are 99 allowed in the partition definition, including mtd id's and partition 100 names. 101 102 Examples: 103 104 1 flash resource (mtd-id "sa1100"), with 1 single writable partition: 105 mtdparts=sa1100:- 106 107 Same flash, but 2 named partitions, the first one being read-only: 108 mtdparts=sa1100:256k(ARMboot)ro,-(root) 109 110 If unsure, say 'N'. 111 112config MTD_AFS_PARTS 113 tristate "ARM Firmware Suite partition parsing" 114 depends on (ARM || ARM64) 115 help 116 The ARM Firmware Suite allows the user to divide flash devices into 117 multiple 'images'.
