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

35 If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register

168 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
169 as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
170 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
171 devices performing that function.
172
173 At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
174 System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
175 (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
176 of the mtdblock device).
177
178 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
179 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
180 this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
