What: /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/writesize
Date: April 2009
KernelVersion: 2.6.29
Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
Description:
Minimal writable flash unit size. This will always be
a positive integer.
In the case of NOR flash it is 1 (even though individual
bits can be cleared).
In the case of NAND flash it is one NAND page (or a
half page, or a quarter page).
In the case of ECC NOR, it is the ECC block size.
What: /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/ecc_strength
Date: April 2012
KernelVersion: 3.4
Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
Description:
Maximum number of bit errors that the device is capable of
correcting within each region covering an ECC step (see
ecc_step_size). This will always be a non-negative integer.
In the case of devices lacking any ECC capability, it is 0.
What: /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/bitflip_threshold
Date: April 2012
KernelVersion: 3.4
Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
Description:
This allows the user to examine and adjust the criteria by which
mtd returns -EUCLEAN from mtd_read() and mtd_read_oob(). If the
maximum number of bit errors that were corrected on any single
region comprising an ecc step (as reported by the driver) equals
or exceeds this value, -EUCLEAN is returned. Otherwise, absent
an error, 0 is returned. Higher layers (e.g., UBI) use this
return code as an indication that an erase block may be
degrading and should be scrutinized as a candidate for being
marked as bad.
The initial value may be specified by the flash device driver.
If not, then the default value is ecc_strength.
The introduction of this feature brings a subtle change to the
meaning of the -EUCLEAN return code. Previously, it was
interpreted to mean simply "one or more bit errors were
corrected". Its new interpretation can be phrased as "a
dangerously high number of bit errors were corrected on one or
more regions comprising an ecc step". The precise definition of
"dangerously high" can be adjusted by the user with
bitflip_threshold. Users are discouraged from doing this,
however, unless they know what they are doing and have intimate
knowledge of the properties of their device. Broadly speaking,
bitflip_threshold should be low enough to detect genuine erase
block degradation, but high enough to avoid the consequences of
a persistent return value of -EUCLEAN on devices where sticky
bitflips occur. Note that if bitflip_threshold exceeds
ecc_strength, -EUCLEAN is never returned by the read operations.
Conversely, if bitflip_threshold is zero, -EUCLEAN is always
returned, absent a hard error.
This is generally applicable only to NAND flash devices with ECC
capability. It is ignored on devices lacking ECC capability;
i.e., devices for which ecc_strength is zero.
What: /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/ecc_step_size
Date: May 2013
KernelVersion: 3.10
Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
Description:
The size of a single region covered by ECC, known as the ECC
step. Devices may have several equally sized ECC steps within
each writesize region.
It will always be a non-negative integer. In the case of
devices lacking any ECC capability, it is 0.
What: /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/ecc_failures
Date: June 2014
KernelVersion: 3.17
Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
Description:
The number of failures reported by this device's ECC. Typically,
these failures are associated with failed read operations.
It will always be a non-negative integer. In the case of
devices lacking any ECC capability, it is 0.
What: /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/corrected_bits
Date: June 2014
KernelVersion: 3.17
Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
Description:
The number of bits that have been corrected by means of the
device's ECC.
It will always be a non-negative integer. In the case of
devices lacking any ECC capability, it is 0.
What: /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/bad_blocks
Date: June 2014
KernelVersion: 3.17
Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
Description:
The number of blocks marked as bad, if any, in this partition.
What: /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/bbt_blocks
Date: June 2014
KernelVersion: 3.17

Description:
The number of blocks that are marked as reserved, if any, in
this partition. These are typically used to store the in-flash
bad block table (BBT).
What: /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/offset
Date: March 2015
KernelVersion: 4.1
Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
Description:
For a partition, the offset of that partition from the start
of the parent (another partition or a flash device) in bytes.
This attribute is absent on flash devices, so it can be used
to distinguish them from partitions.
