M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers DiskOnChip, 91-SR-005-10-7L instruction

	Using the DiskOnChip with Linux OS
dformat	DiskOnChip formatting utility
dupdate	Utility for updating DiskOnChip firmware
docpmap	Utility to retrieve information about the DiskOnChip
doc121.ex	DiskOnChip firmware image. “121” is the firmware version, the actual diskette might
b	contain higher versions of the firmware, e.g. doc122.exb, doc123.exb, etc.
doc2.fff	Alternative firmware image for the DiskOnChip

Note: The file doc2.fff can be found in the \AP012 directory when using DiskOnChip DOS utilities version 1.21 or higher.

3.2 Linux Driver for DiskOnChip

The compressed file driver.tgz contains the following files:

/usr/src/linux/drivers/block/flash_doc/flobj.obj	TrueFFS device driver core object file
/usr/src/linux/drivers/block/flash_doc/fldrvlnx.c	Source code for driver integration with
	kernel
/usr/src/linux/drivers/block/flash_doc/makefile	TrueFFS driver’s makefile
/tmp/doc-driver/lilo-patch	Patch for Lilo to make pLilo
/tmp/doc-driver/plilo	Linux loader, patched to use with the
	DiskOnChip
/tmp/doc-driver/lilo.conf	Lilo sample configuration file
/tmp/doc-driver/boot.b	Boot loader, udpated to use with
	DiskOnChip
/tmp/doc-driver/copy2doc	Sample scripts, aid tool to create a root file
	system
/tmp/doc-driver/pam.d/other	File meant only for Redhat & Caldera,
	defines permission access
/tmp/doc-driver/samplefs.txt	Sample root file system listing
/tmp/doc-driver/doc-patch-2.0.##	Patch for kernel sources 2.0.## (only
	attached to TrueFFS driver for kernel
	versions 2.0.##)
/tmp/doc-driver/doc-patch-example	Example patch for kernel sources 2.2.##
	(only attached to TrueFFS driver for kernel
	versions 2.2.##)

Note: The included patch files are different for the two TrueFFS drivers. When using the TrueFFS driver for kernel versions 2.2.##, the kernel needs to patched manually and only an example patch file (/tmp/doc-driver/doc-patch-example) is provided. Refer to appendix III on how to manually patch your kernel.
