menuconfig MTD
        tristate "Memory Technology Device (MTD) support"
        depends on HAS_IOMEM
        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_DEBUG
        bool "Debugging"
        help
          This turns on low-level debugging for the entire MTD sub-system.
          Normally, you should say 'N'.

config MTD_DEBUG_VERBOSE
        int "Debugging verbosity (0 = quiet, 3 = noisy)"
        depends on MTD_DEBUG
        default "0"
        help
          Determines the verbosity level of the MTD debugging messages.

config MTD_CONCAT
        tristate "MTD concatenating support"
        help
          Support for concatenating several MTD devices into a single
          (virtual) one. This allows you to have -for example- a JFFS(2)
          file system spanning multiple physical flash chips. If unsure,
          say 'Y'.

config MTD_PARTITIONS
        bool "MTD partitioning support"
        help
          If you have a device which needs to divide its flash chip(s) up
          into multiple 'partitions', each of which appears to the user as
          a separate MTD device, you require this option to be enabled. If
          unsure, say 'Y'.

          Note, however, that you don't need this option for the DiskOnChip
          devices. Partitioning on NFTL 'devices' is a different - that's the
          'normal' form of partitioning used on a block device.

config MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS
        tristate "RedBoot partition table parsing"
        depends on MTD_PARTITIONS
        ---help---
          RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple
          'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase
          blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives
          the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the
          flash.

          If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
          MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable
          this option.

          You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
          for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
          SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for
          example.

config MTD_REDBOOT_DIRECTORY_BLOCK
        int "Location of RedBoot partition table"
        depends on MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS
        default "-1"
        ---help---
          This option is the Linux counterpart to the
          CYGNUM_REDBOOT_FIS_DIRECTORY_BLOCK RedBoot compile time
          option.

          The option specifies which Flash sectors holds the RedBoot
          partition table.  A zero or positive value gives an absolute
          erase block number. A negative value specifies a number of
          sectors before the end of the device.

          For example "2" means block number 2, "-1" means the last
          block and "-2" means the penultimate block.

config MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS_UNALLOCATED
        bool "Include unallocated flash regions"
        depends on MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS
        help
          If you need to register each unallocated flash region as a MTD
          'partition', enable this option.

config MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS_READONLY
        bool "Force read-only for RedBoot system images"
        depends on MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS
        help
          If you need to force read-only for 'RedBoot', 'RedBoot Config' and
          'FIS directory' images, enable this option.

config MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS
        bool "Command line partition table parsing"
        depends on MTD_PARTITIONS = "y" && MTD = "y"
        ---help---
          Allow generic configuration of the MTD partition tables via the kernel
          command line. Multiple flash resources are supported for hardware where
          different kinds of flash memory are available.

          You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
          for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
          SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for
          example.

          The format for the command line is as follows:

          mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef]
          <mtddef>  := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
          <partdef> := <size>[@offset][<name>][ro]
          <mtd-id>  := unique id used in mapping driver/device
          <size>    := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all
          remaining space
          <name>    := (NAME)

          Due to the way Linux handles the command line, no spaces are
          allowed in the partition definition, including mtd id's and partition
          names.

          Examples:

          1 flash resource (mtd-id "sa1100"), with 1 single writable partition:
          mtdparts=sa1100:-

          Same flash, but 2 named partitions, the first one being read-only:
          mtdparts=sa1100:256k(ARMboot)ro,-(root)

          If unsure, say 'N'.

config MTD_AFS_PARTS
        tristate "ARM Firmware Suite partition parsing"
        depends on ARM && MTD_PARTITIONS
        ---help---
          The ARM Firmware Suite allows the user to divide flash devices into
          multiple 'images'. Each such image has a header containing its name
          and offset/size etc.

          If you need code which can detect and parse these tables, and
          register MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image detected,
          enable this option.

          You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
          for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
          'armflash' map driver (CONFIG_MTD_ARMFLASH) does this, for example.

comment "User Modules And Translation Layers"

config MTD_CHAR
        tristate "Direct char device access to MTD devices"
        help
          This provides a character device for each MTD device present in
          the system, allowing the user to read and write directly to the
          memory chips, and also use ioctl() to obtain information about
          the device, or to erase parts of it.

config MTD_BLKDEVS
        tristate "Common interface to block layer for MTD 'translation layers'"
        depends on BLOCK
        default n

config MTD_BLOCK
        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.

          At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
          System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
          (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
          of the mtdblock 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.

config MTD_BLOCK_RO
        tristate "Readonly block device access to MTD devices"
        depends on MTD_BLOCK!=y && BLOCK
        select MTD_BLKDEVS
        help
          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.

          You do not need this option for use with the DiskOnChip devices. For
          those, enable NFTL support (CONFIG_NFTL) instead.

config FTL
        tristate "FTL (Flash Translation Layer) support"
        depends on BLOCK
        select MTD_BLKDEVS
        ---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.

config NFTL
        tristate "NFTL (NAND Flash Translation Layer) support"
        depends on BLOCK
        select MTD_BLKDEVS
        ---help---
          This provides support for the NAND Flash Translation Layer which is
          used on M-Systems' DiskOnChip devices. 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

          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.

config NFTL_RW
        bool "Write support for NFTL"
        depends on NFTL
        help
          Support for writing to the NAND Flash Translation Layer, as used
          on the DiskOnChip.

config INFTL
        tristate "INFTL (Inverse NAND Flash Translation Layer) support"
        depends on BLOCK
        select MTD_BLKDEVS
        ---help---
          This provides support for the Inverse NAND Flash Translation
          Layer which is used on M-Systems' newer DiskOnChip devices. 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

          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.

config RFD_FTL
        tristate "Resident Flash Disk (Flash Translation Layer) support"
        depends on BLOCK
        select MTD_BLKDEVS
        ---help---
          This provides support for the flash translation layer known
          as the Resident Flash Disk (RFD), as used by the Embedded BIOS
          of General Software. There is a blurb at:

                http://www.gensw.com/pages/prod/bios/rfd.htm

config SSFDC
        tristate "NAND SSFDC (SmartMedia) read only translation layer"
        depends on BLOCK
        select MTD_BLKDEVS
        help
          This enables read only access to SmartMedia formatted NAND
          flash. You can mount it with FAT file system.

config MTD_OOPS
        tristate "Log panic/oops to an MTD buffer"
        depends on MTD
        help
          This enables panic and oops messages to be logged to a circular
          buffer in a flash partition where it can be read back at some
          later point.
