flash文件系统在嵌入式linux系统中是必须的，无论是作为只读的根文件系统还是作为可写的用户文件系统。目前在linux-2.6.14内核上 移植flash文件系统。下载相应内核，打好at91rm9200的补丁后，却发现先前移植nand文件系统的方法在flash文件系统中完全不行。只好从头开始了。    星光AT91RM9200开发板的flash芯片是SST39VF3201，16 位 ，4M 。按目前计划，准备分区为三个区，分别为uboot(0x40000), kernel(0x1c0000), rootfs(0x200000), 应该可以将linux的最小系统跑起来的。    首先，添加MTD分区的底层驱动文件，在drivers/mtd/maps下添加at91rm9200.c文件，该文件是flash分区的基本驱动文件，包含分区信息、芯片识别等基本flash文件系统的底层实现。事实上，该文件并不需要从头开始创建，可以参考该目录下其它文件来修改，如edb7312.c。代码如下

#define WINDOW_ADDR 0x10000000      /* physical properties of flash */
#define WINDOW_SIZE 0x400000
#define BUSWIDTH    2

#define MSG_PREFIX "RM9200-NOR:"   /* prefix for our printk()'s */
#define MTDID      "rm9200-nor"    /* for mtdparts= partitioning */

        .name = "NOR flash on rm9200",
        .size = WINDOW_SIZE,
        .bankwidth = BUSWIDTH,
        .phys = WINDOW_ADDR,
};

代码比较好理解，因为大部分并不需要自己写，只是照搬过来。

下一步就是要写flash芯片的驱动了。flash为SST39VF3201，查芯片手册，明确其接口形式（先前写上面代码时，用的是CFI接口，只用了do_map_probe("cfi_probe", &rm9200nor_map);
结果死活找不到芯片。后来在cfi_probe.c中根本找不到芯片，当然不能通过了，查手册后才知道自己犯了一个原则性错误）。
在drivers\mtd\chips\jedec_probe.c中找到以下语句
{
               .mfr_id         = MANUFACTURER_SST,     /* should be CFI */
               .dev_id         = SST39LF160,
               .name           = "SST 39LF160",
               .uaddr          = {
                       [0] = MTD_UADDR_0x5555_0x2AAA,  /* x8 */
                       [1] = MTD_UADDR_0x5555_0x2AAA   /* x16 */
               },
               .DevSize        = SIZE_2MiB,
               .CmdSet         = P_ID_AMD_STD,
               .NumEraseRegions= 2,
               .regions        = {
                       ERASEINFO(0x1000,256),
                       ERASEINFO(0x1000,256)
               }
        },
这是SST39LF1601的代码，依照这个代码，编写SST39VF3201的jedec_table项：
{
               .mfr_id         = MANUFACTURER_SST,     /* should be CFI */
               .dev_id         = SST39VF3201,
               .name           = "SST 39VF3201",
               .uaddr          = {
                       [0] = MTD_UADDR_0x5555_0x2AAA,  /* x8 */
                       [1] = MTD_UADDR_0x5555_0x2AAA   /* x16 */
               },
               .DevSize        = SIZE_4MiB,
               .CmdSet         = P_ID_AMD_STD,
               .NumEraseRegions= 2,
               .regions        = {
                       ERASEINFO(0x1000,1024)    
               }
        },
在文件开头的宏定义中增加flash的芯片ID号：
#define SST39VF3201        0x235b
基本完成芯片级驱动代码编写，下面就是linux内核的配置了，要将我们的修改增加到内核中去。这一步对了解linux内核配置的来讲比较简单，在此略过。
配置内核:
    在device drivers/Memory Technology Devices (MTD) /RAM/ROM/Flash chip drivers中，根据我们开发板上的芯片，设置以下选项：
  < > Detect flash chips by Common Flash Interface (CFI) probe       │ │
  │ │  <*> Detect non-CFI AMD/JEDEC-compatible flash chips                │ │
  │ │ 
Flash chip driver advanced configuration options               │ │
  │ │        Flash cmd/query data swapping (NO)  --->                     │ │
  │ │ 
   Specific CFI Flash geometry selection                        │ │
  │ │  [ ]     Support  8-bit buswidth                                    │ │
  │ │ 
     Support 16-bit buswidth                                    │ │
  │ │  [ ]     Support 32-bit buswidth                                    │ │
  │ │  [ ]     Support 64-bit buswidth                                    │ │
  │ │  [ ]     Support 128-bit buswidth                                   │ │
  │ │  [ ]     Support 256-bit buswidth                                   │ │
  │ │ 
     Support 1-chip flash interleave                            │ │
  │ │  [ ]     Support 2-chip flash interleave                            │ │
  │ │  [ ]     Support 4-chip flash interleave                            │ │
  │ │  [ ]     Support 8-chip flash interleave

在Mapping drivers for chip access中选中我们编写的at92rm9200.c的配置选项。系统配置完毕。
编译内核，启动可以看到输出了：

虽然flash上的文件系统还没有做，但flash芯片及flash文件系统分区信息已经出来了。有了这，就只需要在flash做实际的文件系统了。
