45 RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple

186 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful

188 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
189 devices performing that function.

192 System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted

194 of the mtdblock device).
195
196 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
197 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
