Could anyone please advise something on the following issue? I'm working on port of a firmware program to a PPC750-based board, and I need to support for booting Linux from a DOC2000 partition in the firmware. I'm thinking of using existing MTD stuff as a base for my efforts. Once the firmware is working, I'll need to support DOC in Linux too. I'm new to the MTD project, so any information will be very appreciated. What is the current state of MTD support for DOC? Do MTD DOC drivers require any firmware from M-Sys, or does MTD provide its own DOC firmware? Then, I know that M-Systems suggests running its DOS-based tools for partitioning and formatting a DOC device. Are there any open-source replacements for them? Of course, my firmware program will be open-source, too. Many thanks in advance. Boris
