VMU access flash storage

Florian Fuchs edited this page Jun 22, 2026 · 4 revisions

RAW access to the VMU flash storage can be done using the mtd-utils mtd_debug. mtdinfo /dev/mtd0 shows information about the VMU.

mtd_debug info /dev/mtd0
mtd_debug read /dev/mtd0 0 255 myvmu.bin

# and if you want to write:
# mtd_debug write /dev/mtd0 0 10 testfile.bin

(will be in 7.1.2 again) You can also create a small FAT Filesystem on the VMU and access it like any other filesystem. Adrian McMenamin created the VMUFAT filesystem and the mkfs.vmufat userspace tool

mkfs.vmufat /dev/mtdblock0
mount -t vmufat /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/
