 A character device driver is included with our sources,

see for instance

ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/linux-2.4.4-2001-07-23.tar.bz2

The standard solution is to use MTD, which is part of recent

kernels, too.

1.who have block device driver of flash?  And can I share with you?
 (Intel 28F320J5(4MBytes, 8bit) flash memory)

Check the mtd code. It allready supports 28F320 (16 bit 4Mb).

2.The "ftl or mtd" is only for PCMCIA?

No. Check the mtd code. It can work with PCMCIA and ftl but they are not
necessary.

Can we use it in the general flash board ?such as ppc mother board!

I am using the mtd for 28F320 for a homegrown board, no pcmcia, no ftl.
Check the FLAGADM configuration in mtd.

K.D.

I need help!Thank you very much!
