Thanks all,
I got it right now and it does show the correct info.

However, What does the following mean?

#mtd_debug write /dev/mtd2 0x0 0x600000 testfs_cramfs
file_to_flash: fread, size 0x600000, n 0x600000
fread(): Success

Does that mean it will write to mtd2 which starts at physical address
0x200000 (to 0x800000) or does it actually start at physical address
0x0?
 what does the n means?
I'm not writing to flash correctly so maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks.
