The documentation says that the ways to partition an MTD device are: 1) boot cmd line 2) table of data in device 3) create a map driver If mtdram is to be loaded with modprobe (desktop Linux), that rules out 1). So can I create partitions by dd-ing a partition table at the start of the device ? Can I create a map driver for the device to describe the partitions ? Thanks, MikeW
