Hi,
=20
I came to know through these mailing lists that Smartmedia is supported
on NetBSD. I m working on Nand Flash memory.=20
=20
Smartmedia requires a flash translation layer (FTL) for address
translation, and bad block management. How in NetBSD do we do it?=20
=20
Secondly for supporting MSDOS on NAND Flash where are the specifications
of Flash Translation Layer available?
=20
The Smartmedia is detected on wdc driver. Does wdc driver has FTL layer
inside it? If so, where can I locate it?
=20
Regards
