hi,
    Is there MTD driver module for SmartMedia?
    In the cvs I got (2001/05/01), there is a generic MTD driver for NAND flash
devices (nand.c),
    Can I use nand.c to drive SmartMedia ?
    In the source code tree structure, "mtd/devices" means MTD driver module
    what does "mtd/maps" means for? 
    (In my view, it seems put some on-board MTD driver module, is it?)

    Thanks.
    Liang Ming-Chung

No, not yet. Nobody's yet shown much interest in creating one.

If SmartMedia contains NAND flash chips, then probably, yes. With the right 
glue layer this ought to be possible.

mtd/devices are complete standalone device drivers for MTD devices.

mtd/maps contains 'mapping' drivers which provide just access to the bus on 
which memory chips reside. The actual chip drivers are in mtd/chips. Those 
are only for memory-mapped chips though, not NAND chips.
