Look at the "mtdparts" command. > I also understand that the information about a partition is stored in the > structure : "struct mtd_partition" . > I could not find out where this structure is getting populated in the u-boot > code. How about trying something like "grep -lr mtd_partition *" ? > My aim is to add more such partitions on the NAND flash on my board. Any > information regarding partitioning the flash is highly appreciated. Reading the documentation is usually pretty helpful. I really recommend it. See for example http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootCmdGroupFlash#UBootCmdFlMtdparts and http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/BootTimeConfigurationOfMTDPartitions Also, you should definitely look into UBI support if you're using this on NAND flash.
