Hi,

I need to write and protect the SecSi sector of an AMD flash from linux. I 
searched in the MTD sources but found no way to do that.

Has anybody done this before?  How much work would it be to
add such a function in the MTD driver?

Another way would be to add a simple kernel driver to do it without the whole 
mtd stuff.  I think the problem would be sure that nobody else is accessing 
the flash. 

Hope, anybody can help me.

Regards,

Josef
