Hi Chandru, Blocks on NAND chips can and do go bad, and chips often come from the factory with bad blocks. It looks like Yaffs has marked four blocks bad, which is probably to be expected if this is the first time you've run yaffs on this device. In my experience, after an initial flurry of blocks being marked as bad, things will settle down and blocks will stay good for a long time. If you can read and write files reliably to the Yaffs partition without excessive numbers of blocks being marked bad, then I would believe that you have set Yaffs up correctly. NAND drivers are often all or nothing, either it works properly, or it really doesn't work at all. Hope that helps, Brad
