This option + will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register + themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices + to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on + them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for + particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N. + +config MTD_DEBUG + bool "Debugging" + depends on MTD + help + This turns on low-level debugging for the entire MTD sub-system. + Normally, you should say 'N'. + +config MTD_DEBUG_VERBOSE + int "Debugging verbosity (0 = quiet, 3 = noisy)" + depends on MTD_DEBUG + default "0" + help + Determines the verbosity level of the MTD debugging messages. + +config MTD_CONCAT + tristate "MTD concatenating support" + depends on MTD + help + Support for concatenating several MTD devices into a single + (virtual) one. This allows you to have -for example- a JFFS(2) + file system spanning multiple physical flash chips. If unsure, + say 'Y'. + +config MTD_PARTITIONS + bool "MTD partitioning support" + depends on MTD + help + If you have a device which needs to divide its flash chip(s) up + into multiple 'partitions', each of which appears to the user as + a separate MTD device, you require this option to be enabled. If + unsure, say 'Y'. + + Note, however, that you don't need this option for the DiskOnChip + devices. Partitioning on NFTL 'devices' is a different - that's the + 'normal' form of partitioning used on a block device. + +config MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS + tristate "RedBoot partition table parsing" + depends on MTD_PARTITIONS + ---help--- + 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. + + You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver + for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The + SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for + example. + +config MTD_REDBOOT_DIRECTORY_BLOCK + int "Location of RedBoot partition table" + depends on MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS + default "-1" + ---help--- + This option is the Linux counterpart to the + CYGNUM_REDBOOT_FIS_DIRECTORY_BLOCK RedBoot compile time + option. + + The option specifies which Flash sectors holds the RedBoot + partition table. A zero or positive value gives an absolete + erase block number. A negative value specifies a number of + sectors before the end of the device. + + For example "2" means block number 2, "-1" means the last + block and "-2" means the penultimate block. + +config MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS_UNALLOCATED + bool " Include unallocated flash regions" + depends on MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS + help + If you need to register each unallocated flash region as a MTD + 'partition', enable this option. + +config MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS_READONLY + bool " Force read-only for RedBoot system images" + depends on MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS + help + If you need to force read-only for 'RedBoot', 'RedBoot Config' and + 'FIS directory' images, enable this option. + +config MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS + bool "Command line partition table parsing" + depends on MTD_PARTITIONS = "y" + ---help--- + Allow generic configuration of the MTD paritition tables via the kernel + command line. Multiple flash resources are supported for hardware where + different kinds of flash memory are available. + + You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver + for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The + SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for + example. + + The format for the command line is as follows: + + mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef] + <mtddef> := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>] + <partdef> := <size>[@offset][<name>][ro] + <mtd-id> := unique id used in mapping driver/device + <size> := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all + remaining space + <name> := (NAME) + + Due to the way Linux handles the command line, no spaces are + allowed in the partition definition, including mtd id's and partition + names. + + Examples: + + 1 flash resource (mtd-id "sa1100"), with 1 single writable partition: + mtdparts=sa1100:- + + Same flash, but 2 named partitions, the first one being read-only: + mtdparts=sa1100:256k(ARMboot)ro,-(root) + + If unsure, say 'N'. + +config MTD_AFS_PARTS + tristate "ARM Firmware Suite partition parsing" + depends on ARM && MTD_PARTITIONS + ---help--- + The ARM Firmware Suite allows the user to divide flash devices into + multiple 'images'. Each such image has a header containing its name + and offset/size etc. + + If you need code which can detect and parse these tables, and + register MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image detected, + enable this option. + + You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver + for your particular device.

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. + + You do not need this option for use with the DiskOnChip devices. For + those, enable NFTL support (CONFIG_NFTL) instead. + +config MTD_BLOCK_RO + tristate "Readonly block device access to MTD devices" + depends on MTD_BLOCK!=y && MTD + help + This allows you to mount read-only file systems (such as cramfs) + from an MTD device, without the overhead (and danger) of the caching + driver. + + You do not need this option for use with the DiskOnChip devices.
