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

177 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
178 as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
179 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
180 devices performing that function.
181
182 At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
183 System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
184 (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
185 of the mtdblock device).
186
187 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
188 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
189 this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
