Hello all,<br><br>currently I'm trying to familiarise oneself with the YAFFS2 concepts, especially<br>the idea, how to accomplish the sequential write restriction of future FLASH chips.<br><br>YAFFS2 uses a 4 byte sequence number to differ older chunks from the latest one.
<br>This really allows a lot of Blocks to be written, but how does YAFFS handle<br>a sequence number overflow?<br><br>On a 512MB FLASH memory this will surely happen<br>before reaching the FLASH limitations of about 100 000 Block rewrite operations,
<br>even with perfect wear leveling.<br><br>Is there a mechanism to prevent a sequence number overflow?<br><br>Thanks and best regards,<br>Martin.<br><br>
