menuconfig MTD
tristate "Memory Technology Device (MTD) support"
imply NVMEM
help
Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often
used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. 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.
if MTD
config MTD_TESTS
tristate "MTD tests support (DANGEROUS)"
depends on m
help
This option includes various MTD tests into compilation. The tests
should normally be compiled as kernel modules. The modules perform
various checks and verifications when loaded.
WARNING: some of the tests will ERASE entire MTD device which they
test. Do not use these tests unless you really know what you do.

tristate "Caching block device access to MTD devices"
depends on BLOCK
select MTD_BLKDEVS
help
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.
Note that mounting a JFFS2 filesystem doesn't require using mtdblock.
It's possible to mount a rootfs using the MTD device on the "root="
bootargs as "root=mtd2" or "root=mtd:name_of_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.

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.

tristate "FTL (Flash Translation Layer) support"

help
This provides support for the original Flash Translation Layer which
is part of the PCMCIA specification. It uses a kind of pseudo-
file system on a flash device to emulate a block device with
512-byte sectors, on top of which you put a 'normal' file system.
You may find that the algorithms used in this code are patented
unless you live in the Free World where software patents aren't
legal - in the USA you are only permitted to use this on PCMCIA
hardware, although under the terms of the GPL you're obviously
permitted to copy, modify and distribute the code as you wish. Just
not use it.

This provides support for the NAND Flash Translation Layer which is
used on M-Systems' DiskOnChip devices. It uses a kind of pseudo-

This provides support for the Inverse NAND Flash Translation

uses a kind of pseudo-file system on a flash device to emulate
a block device with 512-byte sectors, on top of which you put

config SSFDC

FTL (Flash translation layer).
Write support is only lightly tested, therefore this driver
isn't recommended to use with valuable data (anyway if you have
valuable data, do backups regardless of software/hardware you
use, because you never know what will eat your data...)
If you only need R/O access, you can use older R/O driver
(CONFIG_SSFDC)

Provides volatile block device driver on top of mtd partition

The driver provides wear leveling by storing erase counter into the
OOB.
config MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER
bool "Retain master device when partitioned"
default n
depends on MTD
help
For historical reasons, by default, either a master is present or
several partitions are present, but not both. The concern was that
data listed in multiple partitions was dangerous; however, SCSI does
this and it is frequently useful for applications. This config option
leaves the master in even if the device is partitioned. It also makes
the parent of the partition device be the master device, rather than
what lies behind the master.
