Re: flash writing with Linux

Hi Subodh,

Perhaps you can take a look at mtd and use that to manage your flash.
With mtd you can partition your flash to different devices and erase them
selectively.

What is mtd ? Never heard of before !

Once you have your flash partitioned you can simply cat a file to /dev/mtd#
to copy new content to the flash.

That sounds nice and seems to be same like the stuff Wolfgang offered in
his 2.4.3-preX patch.
