No, not yet. Nobody's yet shown much interest in creating one. > Can I use nand.c to drive SmartMedia ? If SmartMedia contains NAND flash chips, then probably, yes. With the right glue layer this ought to be possible. > In the source code tree structure, "mtd/devices" means MTD driver > module > what does "mtd/maps" means for? 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. -- dwmw2
