Subject: Access entire device with mtdblock0
Date: Fri, 09 Jan 2009 16:58:26 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4967F2B2.4060405@jkmicro.com> (raw)
Hello MTD,
There was a grand feature in the 2.4 flavor of MTD that i used wherein
mtdblock0 was assigned the entirety of the device. This made updating
the flash image very easy.
I've since started messing around with 2.6 flavors, and while i have a
working map that gives the partitions i can no longer access the entire
device. I've tried a few things without success to get it to work.
Any recommendations on a simple way to create a partition using the
entirety of flash?
-Adam
