MTD(memory technology device内存技术设备) 在硬件和文件系统层之间的提供了一个抽象的接口，MTD是用来访问内存设备（如：ROM、flash）的中间层，它将内存设备的共有特性抽取出来，从而使增加新的内存设备驱动程序变得更简单。MTD的源代码都在/drivers/mtd目录中。 MTD中间层细分为四层，按从上到下依次为：设备节点、MTD设备层、MTD原始设备层和硬件驱动层。MTD中间层层次结构图如下：
从上图可以看出，原始设备是MTD字符设备和MTD块设备的抽象。 MTD设备层、MTD原始设备层和Flash硬件驱动层之间的接口关系如下图： 下面首先分析下MTD原始层设备 1、mtd_info数据结构 1 struct mtd_info { 2 u_char type;//内存技术类型，例如MTD_RAM,MTD_ROM,MTD_NORFLASH,MTD_NAND_FLASH,MTD_PEROM等 3 uint32_t flags;//标志位 4 uint64_t size; // Total size of the MTD//MTD设备的大小 5 6 /* "Major" erase size for the device.
