menuconfig MTD	tristate "Memory Technology Device (MTD) support"	imply NVMEM	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_TESTS	tristate "MTD tests support (DANGEROUS)"	depends on m	help	  This option includes various MTD tests into compilation. The tests	  should normally be compiled as kernel modules. The modules perform	  various checks and verifications when loaded. 	  WARNING: some of the tests will ERASE entire MTD device which they	  test. Do not use these tests unless you really know what you do. menu "Partition parsers"source "drivers/mtd/parsers/Kconfig"endmenu comment "User Modules And Translation Layers" ## MTD block device support is select'ed if needed#config MTD_BLKDEVS	tristate 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. 	  Note that mounting a JFFS2 filesystem doesn't require using mtdblock.	  It's possible to mount a rootfs using the MTD device on the "root="	  bootargs as "root=mtd2" or "root=mtd:name_of_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. comment "Note that in some cases UBI block is preferred. See MTD_UBI_BLOCK."	depends on MTD_BLOCK || MTD_BLOCK_RO 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	  unless you live in the Free World where software patents aren't	  legal - in the USA you are only permitted to use this on DiskOnChip	  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	  legal - in the USA you are only permitted to use this on DiskOnChip	  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 SM_FTL	tristate "SmartMedia/xD new translation layer"	depends on BLOCK	select MTD_BLKDEVS	select MTD_NAND_CORE	select MTD_NAND_ECC_SW_HAMMING	help	  This enables EXPERIMENTAL R/W support for SmartMedia/xD	  FTL (Flash translation layer).	  Write support is only lightly tested, therefore this driver	  isn't recommended to use with valuable data (anyway if you have	  valuable data, do backups regardless of software/hardware you	  use, because you never know what will eat your data...)	  If you only need R/O access, you can use older R/O driver	  (CONFIG_SSFDC) config MTD_OOPS	tristate "Log panic/oops to an MTD buffer"	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. config MTD_PSTORE	tristate "Log panic/oops to an MTD buffer based on pstore"	depends on PSTORE_BLK	help	  This enables panic and oops messages to be logged to a circular	  buffer in a flash partition where it can be read back as files after	  mounting pstore filesystem. 	  If unsure, say N. config MTD_SWAP	tristate "Swap on MTD device support"	depends on MTD && SWAP	select MTD_BLKDEVS	help	  Provides volatile block device driver on top of mtd partition	  suitable for swapping.  The mapping of written blocks is not saved.	  The driver provides wear leveling by storing erase counter into the	  OOB. config MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER	bool "Retain master device when partitioned"	default n	depends on MTD	help	  For historical reasons, by default, either a master is present or	  several partitions are present, but not both. The concern was that	  data listed in multiple partitions was dangerous; however, SCSI does	  this and it is frequently useful for applications. This config option	  leaves the master in even if the device is partitioned. It also makes	  the parent of the partition device be the master device, rather than	  what lies behind the master. config MTD_VIRT_CONCAT	bool "Virtual concatenated MTD devices"	depends on MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER	help	  The driver enables the creation of virtual MTD device by	  concatenating multiple physical MTD devices into a single	  entity. This allows for the creation of partitions larger than	  the individual physical chips, extending across chip boundaries. source "drivers/mtd/chips/Kconfig" source "drivers/mtd/maps/Kconfig" source "drivers/mtd/devices/Kconfig" source "drivers/mtd/nand/Kconfig" source "drivers/mtd/lpddr/Kconfig" source "drivers/mtd/spi-nor/Kconfig" source "drivers/mtd/ubi/Kconfig" source "drivers/mtd/hyperbus/Kconfig" endif # MTD
