MTD driver

[Subrahmanyam]

Hi Thomas,

Can you suggest an approach to write into the flash either by using a file 
system or by using mtd drivers.
Yes, I am aware of writing data to a normal file but, but how is it possible 
to do in a jffs2 file system which is read only.

Please do suggest an approach.

Thanks,
Subrahmanyam.
