+ The MTD Utilities are a collection of tools that allow the user to
+ interact with the MTD subsystem in the kernel to perform operations on
+ Flash devices. The most commonly used utilities are:
+ * flash_erase - Erases an erase block of flash
+ * flash_eraseall - Erases the entire flash device
+ * flashcp - Copies data into NOR flash
+ * flash_info - Displays information about Flash devices
+ * flash_lock - Lock flash pages to prevent writing
+ * flash_unlock - Unlock flash pages to allow writing
+ * mkfs.jffs2 - Create a JFFS2 file system image from an existing file
+ system
+ * nandwrite - Write an input file (i.e. JFFS2 or YAFFS2 image) to the
+ NAND Flash device
+ These utilities are often used to write file system images to the Flash
+ device on an embedded system.
