DOCboot "BDK" partition, TLAs
What is meant by the "BDK partition" the DOCboot README?
M-Systems literature uses BDK to refer to their Boot software Development Kit. With that software API you can access the "Binary Partition".
So when you refer to the "BDK partition" are you refering to what M- Systems calls the "Binary Partition"?

Yes, a BDK partition is a binary partition.
A DOC chip consists of the following partitions: IPL, BDK, BDTL. The code in the IPL partition does some system initialization, such as initialzing the RAM. You can use the BDK partitions to hold your bootloader and kernel image. The BDTL is a filesystem partition and can be accessed through /dev/tffsa. I believe the total possible number of partitions BDK + BDTL is 4.
You can use the SDK API provided by M-Systems to access the BDK and IPL partitions. There is documentation on M-System's website describing all of this.
