NAME

       m16c-flash - Flash programmer for Renesas M16C and R8C microcontrollers

SYNOPSIS

       m16c-flash [COM_DEV] [CPU_TYPE] [FILE] [ID1:...:ID7] [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       m16c-flash is a flash programmer for the Renesas M16C and R8C microcontrollers which operates in asynchronous mode.

OPTIONS

       COM_DEV The serial device to use for flashing, e.g. /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyUSB0.

       CPU_TYPE The CPU type you want to flash to (currently M16C or R8C).

       FILE The filename of the binary you want to flash.

       ID1:...:ID7 The device ID.

       --help Show a help text and exit.

       --version Show version information and exit.

EXAMPLES

       Flash the simple.s file onto an M16C microcontroller via the first serial port (/dev/ttyS0) using 0:0:0:0:0:0:0 as the device ID:
       m16c-flash /dev/ttyS0 M16C simple.s 0:0:0:0:0:0:0

       Flash the test.mot file onto an R8C microcontroller via the USB serial device /dev/ttyUSB0, and using ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff as device ID:
       m16c-flash /dev/ttyUSB0 R8C test.mot ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

NAME

       ftl_cs - Flash Translation Layer driver for PCMCIA memory cards

SYNOPSIS

       insmod ftl_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [major_dev=n]

DESCRIPTION

       Flash  memory  devices typically need to be erased before they are written, and most flash devices can only be erased on large block bound-
       aries like 64K or 128K.	The Flash Translation Layer driver, ftl_cs, implements a sort of  virtual  sector-addressable  block  device  that
       hides the details of erase operations.  Using the FTL driver, a flash memory card can be treated as an ordinary block device.

       The  ftl_cs  driver allocates a major device number when it is loaded.  Minor device numbers have a bitwise layout of 'dddrrppp'.  'ddd' is
       the device number, with one card counting as one device.  'rr' is the common-memory region number, generally 0.	And 'ppp' selects a  logi-
       cal partition within the FTL region.

       The default configuration script for FTL devices will create a block device with the name of the form '/dev/ftl{d}c{r}', where '{d}' is the
       device number and '{r}' is the region number, that spans the entire FTL region.	It also creates devices  '/dev/ftl{d}c{r}p[1-4]'  pointing
       to partitions 1 through 4 within this FTL region.

       An  FTL	region	must  be  formatted before use.  The formatting utility, ftl_format, needs to write to the corresponding raw memory device
       rather than the FTL device interface.

PARAMETERS

       pc_debug=n
	      Selects the PCMCIA debugging level.  This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled.  A  non-zero
	      value enables debugging.

       major_dev=n
	      Selects the major device number to allocate for FTL devices.  The default is to pick any available major number.
