Plan to use the partition number to get base for that. Can I continue using low level api's for this module only while rest of the system uses standard read()/write()/open()/close () api's to operate on OTHER partitions which will have cramfs and jffs2?. If yes, what are the things that needs to be considered..like ensuring operation on flash is serailised etc?.
