YAFFS is a file system so you need to do this using file system calls. You 
cannot do a binary copy fromflash.

You need to do something like this:

unsigned char *buffer;

int load_handle = yaffs_open("filename",O_RDONLY,0);
buffer = (unsigned char *) load_address;

while ((nread = yaffs_read(load_handle,buffer,4096)) > 0)
	buffer += nread;

yaffs_close(load_handle);
