21 * The format for the command line is as follows:
23 * mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef]
24 * <mtddef> := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
25 * <partdef> := <size>[@<offset>][<name>][ro][lk]
26 * <mtd-id> := unique name used in mapping driver/device (mtd->name)
27 * <size> := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all remaining space
28 * size is automatically truncated at end of device
29 * if specified or truncated size is 0 the part is skipped
30 * <offset> := standard linux memsize
31 * if omitted the part will immediately follow the previous part
32 * or 0 if the first part
33 * <name> := '(' NAME ')'
34 * NAME will appear in /proc/mtd
36 * <size> and <offset> can be specified such that the parts are out of order
37 * in physical memory and may even overlap.
39 * The parts are assigned MTD numbers in the order they are specified in the
40 * command line regardless of their order in physical memory.
44 * 1 NOR Flash, with 1 single writable partition:
47 * 1 NOR Flash with 2 partitions, 1 NAND with one
