Kernel configuration

ST交货中默认激活MTD。 但是，如果需要特定的配置，则本节说明如何在内核中激活/停用MTD。

使用Linux Menuconfig工具在内核配置中激活MTD：Menuconfig or how to configure kernel.

How to use the framework

A file system, which handles read/write/erase operations, can be used over the MTD Framework. Please refer to the UBIFS support through MTD.

You can also interact with the MTD subsystem using the MTD utilities. The MTD utilities[8] are a set of tools that can be used to perform operations on Flash memories through the MTD character interface.

The most common utilities used are:

  • mtdinfo
  • flash_erase
  • flashcp
  • nandwrite
  • nanddump

How to trace and debug the framework

How to monitor

The sysfs interface provides detail information on each mtd device. 

 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/name
 fsbl
 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/type
 nand
 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/erasesize
 262144
 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/ecc_strength
 8
 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/bad_blocks
 0
 root:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/ecc_failures
 0

How to trace

A detail dynamic trace is available here How to use the kernel dynamic debug.
