Subject: Mount MTD device on host PC
Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2007 20:09:40 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <876668.82641.qm@web32801.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)

Sir/Madam,

I'm facing some problem while trying to mount a
compact flash as a MTD device on my host/development
PC. I would be glad if anyone could help.

The setup which I'm using in the lab is as follows:
[1]. Host PC with RedHat 9.0 and MontaVista 4.0.
[2]. Target Compact Flash is Pretec make (128MB). 

What I want to achieve:
[1]. When I connect the target flash to the host PC
(to the IDE Slot), I want the target flash to be
detected by the host PC as a MTD device, so that I can
mount a JFFS2/EXT3 filesystem in it.
 
What I have done so far to achieve this:
[1]. I have built/compiled a customised kernel in the
Host PC.
[2]. MTD support has been enabled in the Host PC
(using command menuconfig).

My observations so far:
[1]. When the target flash is connected to the Host
PC, the Host PC detects it as a "hdd" device and not a
"mtd" device.

My Query:
[1]. What steps do I need to perform to ensure that
the Host PC detects the target flash as a MTD device,
when connected to it over IDE Slot (using FRC cable).

Regards,

Naveen Sattigeri.
