boot is the bootloader partition. system is an ubi partition, and remaining mtd partitions are in fact ubi volumes exposed as mtd device through gluebi.

/etc/init.d/rcS uses the MTD numbers from /etc/init.d/partnum.sh:

# MTD numbers
PARTNUM_BOOTDATA=2
PARTNUM_BOOTDATA_BKP=13
PARTNUM_KERNEL_A=4
PARTNUM_KERNEL_B=5
PARTNUM_KERNEL_R=6
PARTNUM_RFS_A=7
PARTNUM_RFS_B=8
PARTNUM_APP_A=9
PARTNUM_APP_B=10
PARTNUM_DATA_A=11
PARTNUM_DATA_B=12
PARTNUM_CALDATA=14
PARTNUM_CALDATA_BKP=15
PARTNUM_UNITDATA=3
PARTNUM_UNITDATA_BKP=16

# UBI offset
PARTNUM_UBI_OFFS=2

Partitions

Systems

There are two systems: A and B.
They use one kernel (Linux), one root file system (standard Linux utilities), one application partition (containing all the femtocell/radio software), and one data partition (containing the operator specific configuration).

Backup

The bootloader and both systems use common partitions: bootdata (for system selection and signatures), unidata (femtocell configuration), caldata (femtocell calibration).

They partition have backups in case the original are invalid (invalid data, can't be mounted, or signature check fails).

Recovery

There is one recovery kernel, but this is only used for local maintenance (not remote) in case the two main systems are broken.
It doesn't download and flash any file automatically.
This is just a Linux kernel with SSH open (serial is also enabled, as opposed to the main OS where it is disabled).
