Partition
|
This is the flash partition name used to refer to a partition by the system. This
can be any alpha-numeric character string of the form AAAAAAAAnn, where
A represents an optional alpha character and n a numeric character. Any
numeric characters must always form the trailing part of the string. The system
will use only the numeric portion to map to a partition index. Flash operations
get directed to a device partition based on this name. The system has a concept
of a default partition. This would be the first partition in the device. The system
directs an operation to the default partition whenever a partition name is not
specified. The partition name is therefore mandatory except when the operation
is being done on the default partition, or the device has just one partition (is not
partitioned).
