how to manipulate flash devices?

my embeded board has installed two flash devices, when i compile my kernel I selected all drivers refered to flash, but now I boot into embeded system, and can't find flash devices, as my previous plan, I wouldd manipulated flash such as format, fdisk, burned kernel image into it .....etc. so what I shoud do to find the flash DEVICE? when type: ls /dev/ftl* sh-2.04# ls -al /dev/ftl* brw-r--r-- 1 root root 44, 0 Jul 3 2006 /dev/ftla brw-r--r-- 1 root root 44, 1 Jul 3 2006 /dev/ftla1 brw-r--r-- 1 root root 44, 2 Jul 3 2006 /dev/ftla2 brw-r--r-- 1 root root 44, 3 Jul 3 2006 /dev/ftla3 brw-r--r-- 1 root root 44, 4 Jul 3 2006 /dev/ftla4 brw-r--r-- 1 root root 44, 16 Jul 3 2006 /dev/ftlb brw-r--r-- 1 root root 44, 17 Jul 3 2006 /dev/ftlb1 brw-r--r-- 1 root root 44, 18 Jul 3 2006 /dev/ftlb2 brw-r--r-- 1 root root 44, 19 Jul 3 2006 /dev/ftlb3 brw-r--r-- 1 root root 44, 20 Jul 3 2006 /dev/ftlb4 I guess both ftla and ftlb are thoes two flash, but I don't open them. what's wrong? can anyone tell me how to use flash devices in normal case? I'm embeded development newbie, please guide me a clue, thank you very much.
