通过/proc虚拟文件系统读取MTD分区表:cat /proc/mtd
mtd .name = raspi, .size = 0x00400000 (4M) .erasesize = 0x00010000 (64K) .numeraseregions = 0
Creating 6 MTD partitions on "raspi":
0x00000000-0x00400000 : "ALL"
0x00000000-0x00030000 : "Bootloader"
0x00030000-0x00040000 : "Config"
0x00040000-0x00050000 : "Factory"
0x00050000-0x00360000 : "Kernel"
0x00360000-0x003b0000 : "DATA"
通过这个结构体可知size是本mtd分区的最大字节数空间
,erasesize是本分区的最小擦除字节数空间(块大小,linux的flash是以块为擦除单位的) 。
下面是别人的文章:
具体由linux/drivers/mtd下的mtdcore.c文件中的mtd_read_proc函数来实现:
static inline int mtd_proc_info (char *buf, int i)
{
struct mtd_info *this = mtd_table[i];
if (!this)
return 0;
return sprintf(buf, "mtd%d: %8.8x %8.8x \"%s\"\n", i, this->size,
this->erasesize, this->name);
}
static int mtd_read_proc (char *page, char **start, off_t off, int count,
int *eof, void *data_unused)
{
int len, l, i;
off_t begin = 0;
mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex);
len = sprintf(page, "dev: size erasesize name\n");
for (i=0; i< MAX_MTD_DEVICES; i++) {
l = mtd_proc_info(page + len, i);
len += l;
if (len+begin > off+count)
goto done;
if (len+begin < off) {
begin += len;
len = 0;
}
}
*eof = 1;
done:
mutex_unlock(&mtd_table_mutex);
if (off >= len+begin)
return 0;
*start = page + (off-begin);
return ((count < begin+len-off) ? count : begin+len-off);
}
读出来的结果如下:
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 01000000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 01000000 00020000 "setting"
mtd2: 02000000 00020000 "rootfs"
mtd3: 0be00000 00020000 "home"
mtd4: 00200000 00020000 "storage"
mtd5: 00040000 00010000 "u-boot"
mtd6: 00040000 00010000 "others"
其中size和erasesize的定义在linux/include/linux/mtd下mtd.h文件中的struct mtd_info结构体定义:

u_char type;
u_int32_t flags;

* to be the only erase size available, or may use the more detailed

* though individual bits can be cleared), in case of NAND flash it is
