1. On the same note, Is there a simple straightforward tutorial on how
to reconfigure the Yaffs direct emulation to 512 byte pages, different
device sizes (32 MB, 256Mb, 1GB) etc.?
I went over the mailing list and only found vague references, and
couldn't make out a clear explanation out of them.

I tried to change the relevant PAGE_DATA_SIZE defines etc. in
yaffs_fileem2k.h, and running the default test (dtes.c:
resize_stress_test_no_grow) but kept getting errors about tags
corruption, data mismatch and much more.
Also tried to follow an advice from one of the posts and add the
CONFIG_AUTO_YAFFS2 to the maekfile defines.
didn't work either.

2. Also I'd like to know what are the ways to configure the amount of
RAM allocated when the program is running (and static structures and
buffers) to be able to control the memory footprint?

Thank you
