Hi Charles/All, <br><br>I have limited knowledge on yaffs2 internal implementation, but have good clarity on yaffs2 image format(created by mkyaffs2image )<br><br>I have done some experiment on my target device as follows :<br>
<br>case 1: I have mounted a yaffs partition from userspace utility and created/stored some filesystem contents<br><br>case 2:  I have flashed a yaffs2 image (which is craeted by mkyaffs2tool) on another yaffs2 partition<br>
<br>i took the dump from both partitions(this i have done perfectly) and tried to unyaffs (using unyaffs tool) those images.<br> <br>in 2nd case i able to unyaffs whole partition without loosing any content.<br><br>but in 1st case, i failed to do it. I found that the data is not alligned as mkyaffs2image format.<br>
<br><br>Can anyone please confirm, is it possible to extract by reading  the contents (created from userspace) from yaffs2 partition dump as in <br>1st case?<br><br>please note that my intention is not to get the files from adb, i want to extract the contents by reading image from NAnd partition, which i able to do in 2nd case.<br>
<br><br>BRs,<br>/Ram<br><br>
