The internal flash memory is divided into partitions of several uses. The exact partition sizes are stored in the bootloader environment variable "mtdblocks", and depend on bad blocks of each device. Flashing the Neo 1973 updates partition contents.

Neo1973 partitions
Name DFU# Linux mtd# Size Purpose
u-boot 1 0 256 kB Bootloader binary
u-boot_env 2 1 16 kB Checksummed bootloader config
kernel 3 2 2 MB Kernel uImage binary
splash 4 3 640 kB Bootloader splash screen
rootfs 5 4 rest of the 64 MB (256MB on GTA02) JFFS2-formatted file system
