"If you only have a raw flash device that does not hide the characteristics of the flash media, you will also need to use a file system that is designed to work with such media (JFFS2, UBIFS, whatever..)."

Not necessarily. You could always be using a software MTD-to-block translation/wear-levelling driver. I think a toy one is even shipped with the MTD layer.

Not sure how likely this solution is though.
