My embedded system is tiny (credit card size) so space is an issue. I can not easily use a DiskOnChip as there are only 12 address lines from the CPU board connector available to me. I am investigating serial flash devices. Are there any that MTD or Linux supports ??? I know about the Atmel data flash devices. Are they supported by Linux or MTD ??? I am interested in investigating the chipsets that the key ring type USB hard drives use. Does anyone know what chipsets these are ? Does MTD or Linux support them ??? Thanks for any advise, suggestion or pointers, Brendan Simon.
