Hi,
This question is for curiosity sake. What is MTD ABI? What is the
expansion of ABI and what is it's significance in MTD. Could anyone give me a pointer to this?

Best regards
Ranga

ABI stands for 'application binary interface'. MTD doesn't really have an ABI... It does have an API, or application programming interface, which can be found on the MTD website.

Well, for user<->kernel interaction, yes. I was referring to the in-kernel used for new drivers, etc.
