Hi Craig,

Thank you, actually our target comprises of an intel processor(iop80321), a 
flash(Intel NOR) and a ram, two usb ports and a ieee1394 port. In the flash 
there are drivers for existing system to work, my present requirement is to 
store a certain key/data/string in the flash, which shall be dynamically be 
modifiable by an user interface provided to the host, when connected to the 
target either through usb/firewire ports.

Firstly, I have looked into mtd drivers to store data (which basically is a 
key, a group of characters) in the flash, but I am not clear whether this 
will work or I have to look into jffs2 file system also, basically my path 
is not clear whether I have to use mtd/jffs2.

I will be thankful if you can suggest an approach, for storing the key
(group of characters).

Thanks,
Subrahmanyam.
