MTD How-to?

[Ravi Vasarla]

Hi,

Please check with weather given flash chip is supports the jedec probe
and command sets. Since it quite older probe and command set method, now
the most of the chip sets supports the CFI probe and cfi command sets 1,
2 or 3.
 Please write the simple probe functions which consist of probe and
device add api and see the proc entry or konsole message for that. And
also please verify weather it driver registered or not. If have any
problem please provide the details of chip set and the flow of the code
so that can understand the problem easily.

Regards,
Ravi

Hi All,

I'm an MTD noob trying to gain read/write access to a chip that appears
to be supported in jedec_probe.c (49LF008A), using a mostly unchanged
debian 2.6.24 kernel.  I've enabled everything I think I need to in the
kernel, but can't seem to get things to recognize the chip.

I've reviewed a couple of pretty old how-to's (2.2/2.4 days old), and
visited the available pages at
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/general.html, but can't find
anything modern that lays out the steps for getting a device up and
going.

Can anyone point me at relevant documentation or a how-to?

TIA!
