Message-ID: <3F9D3D98.6453.14E703@localhost> (raw)
I would like to be able to access FAT partitions on a SMC via Linux. Curently the
hardare loads its' configuration and boots the hardware from files on a FAT partition.
The hardware itself has no hardware flash translation layer. The SMC has been
created on a USB device which contains a flash translation layer conforming to the
SFFDC standard. After this a JFFS2 root is mounted. It would be nice if I could
change the hardware and boot files from Linux but I have been unable to find any
reliable way of accessing the FAT filesystem.
As far as I understand, from the information I have read, I would need to create a
block driver which contained a SSFDC compatible translation layer ? In the nand
FAQ it mentions SmartMedia FAT. I have been unable to find how this is
implemented. Has anyone implemented this yet ?
I would like to know if my assumptions are correct. If so I guess there are many ways
this could be achieved.
1. Wrirte my on block driver ?
2. Bolt on some bits to mtdblock ?
3. As I don't do this all the time write a user app to update via /dev/mtd
All comments welcome.
Many Thanks
