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.

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