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.
