I'm using blkmem.c to allow me to access and rewrite the flash memory. It generally works very cleanly except that I couldn't figure out a nice way to define a memory block device to be sectored heterogeneously. I'm using an AMD flash that has a mixture of 8k and 64k blocks. As a workaround, I defined two block devices with the same origin. one has small blocks and one has big ones. This was good'nuff to get what I needed, but now I'm thinking about doing it right. Am I missing something or is the current driver only for equal-sectored (monolithic, right?) devices? Has anybody done this already, or should I start? Are there any other features I should be thinking about adding while I'm under the hood? lock/unlock sectors?
