 	---help---
 	  RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple

 	  blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives
 	  the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the
 	  flash.

 	  If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
 	  MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable
 	  this option.

 	  You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
 	  for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
