I think the default mount options are ro for mtd. To change this, , you can do
2 things:
1) On the Linux cmdline root=/dev/mtdblockN rw
2) From the prompt/init scripts: mount -oremount,rw -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblockN /
Or you may have set the partitions to be read only oin the MTD map you
created. (Check the mask_flags)
Finally, depending on your FLASH chips, the chips may always powerup in the
Locked state, mine do, and you will need to unlock them before writing. I do
thins under u-boot but iy could also be done with the unlock mtd command.
Those are my suggestions.
Thanks
Brian
