Flash File System

Hello,
What kind of flash filesystem works with linux pppc? We tried M-Systems
DiskOnChip, but they claim not support source for the power pc.
What do to? Desperate, please help.

Thank you,

Hi,
Have you thought about using ATA Flash connected to the 8xx PCMCIA?

I do not believe that to be true.
While support may not be directly available from M-Systems,
I'm pretty sure there are drivers available for DiskOnChip
from somewhere on the network.  I stopped following its
development when I determined that I wasn't going to be
using it.  Search for a bit on the net, it shouldn't be
too hard to find.

Julia,

You may wish to look at this page:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/

I believe this is where we were able to find our FTL, basically we have some
spare flash on our board and we point this driver at a chunk of it.  It in
turn makes Linux see it as a raw device which can be formated and mounted.
Also, upon a quick skim of the page it mentions DiskOnChip drivers as well.

Enjoy!

Jason

That's the place!  Thanks Jason.
