This is the name of your mtd device. You cannot pick any value. I think the name defaults to phys_mapped_flash (??) - Sekhar Nori -----Original Message----- From: kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alexander Povolotsky Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 8:36 PM To: kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: questions on commandline partitions for NOR and NAND MTD fllashes on Linux 2.6 Hello, With regard to this subject, I was referred to the comment and example in drivers/mtd/cmdlinepart.c . It is still unclear for me from the comment and example in drivers/mtd/cmdlinepart.c - how I come up with the: "<mtd-id> := unique name used in mapping driver/device (mtd->name)" such as "edb7312-nor" and "edb7312-nand" ... is it a unique name, which I should entirely make up on my own or else ? Also speaking of the sizes for partitions: - I suppose that for the NOR flash, the size info from the commandline is processed together with the info on the total size of the NOR flash, which is provided in .config's CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN - am I correct in my above conjecture ? However, this leaves unexplained how the total size of the NAND flash is derived, say for the given above example: edb7312-nand:-(home). In this notation - it merely refers to "all remaining space" (which in particular example I think means: entire space of the NAND flash - correct ?). So how the total size of the NAND flash is derived ? (I do not see any .config entry for this info with regards to NAND flash).
