Hello,

I need to dump a NAND device (formatted to YAFFS2) in an image, then 
write this image to the NAND emulated device on a linux computer.

To get image, I have done a cat of the device:
    cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > <path>/yaffs2image.img

I get a 150 MB file. To write the image to the NAND emulated device, I 
do this:
     modprobe mtdblock
     modprobe mtdchar
|    modprobe nandsim first_id_byte=0x20 second_id_byte=0x71|
     mount -t yaffs /dev/mtdblock0 /media/nand
     cat yaffs2image.img > /dev/mtdblock0

In result, /media/nand contents only a "lost + found" dir. But making a 
cat on mtdblock0 ouputs something which seems to be the contents of 
yaffs2image.img. I thought I retrieve the files of the original YAFFS2 
device, including all its clusters.

Is there a way to get a dump of a YAFFS2 device, and to flash the dump 
to another device (emulated or not)?

Thanks.
