Q on MTD support for NOR flash

[Kevin Kaichuan He]

Hello,

We are considering to use NOR flash in a embedded linux
system. But it seems that NAND flash support was mentioned
a lot in MTD instead of NOR flash. I'm wondering if there
is intensive NOR flash support in MTD, specifically if
AMD's boot sector NOR flash
(AM29LV800B,http://www.amd.com/us-en/FlashMemory/ProductInformation/0,,37_1447_1623_1468%5E1532,00.html)
is supported.
Also can we partition the AM29LV800B into multiple partitions and
mount different filesystem on it (e.g. JFFS on RW partiton and Cramfs
on RO partition) ? How about the boot sector of NOR flash, is it supported
too ?

Thank you very much for your time!

Kevin
