Hello all,

I just joined the list as I am looking for information on how to set up MTD to use 2Mb of battery-backed up RAM as a disk. This will be on an ARM-based SBC that already has MTD NAND drivers loaded. I think I know where I need to start (CONFIG_MTD_MTDRAM, etc), but have not seen any how-to's yet. I found a new book from O'Reilly that'll be out in February that looks very promising (http://safari.oreilly.com/0136130550/ch10), but I was wondering if there are any online resources.

I admit I still need to do some additional searching, and therefore was wondering if there is a searchable version of the mailing list archives?

Thanks in advanced,

-Frank

Usually phram is the driver of choice for NVRAM.

Linux is more the core point of a concept that surrounds "open source"
which, in turn, is based on a false concept. This concept is that
people actually want to look at source code.
