Hello, I'd like to place a root filesystem partition into the board NAND memory, but the command "cat /proc/mtd" doesn't show any devices and there's no /dev/mtd* device files present.
Shell I pass any special boot arguments to the kernel to enable MTD or is something missing from the kernel compilation configuration?
The chip is: Samsung NAND 64MiB 1,8V 8-bit, sector size 16 KiB.
The kernel config related to the MTD:
