Hello,<br>I am a beginner for yaffs ,too.. I am to use it on a 64M nand flash and it is 512+16 type.<div>My OS is linux,kernel version is 2.6.30 .My question is how should I fix it into my kernel and how should I make the image?</div>
<div>I&#39;ve tried to patch it and configure it in many ways and make the image using mkyaffsimg. But the result is disappointing. It just can execute linuxrc(busybox).</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 9:48 AM, Sven Van Asbroeck <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:ab154365@yahoo.co.uk">ab154365@yahoo.co.uk</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

</div>If you are planning to use an SD Card as a storage medium, you don&#39;t need yaffs. Using yaffs on an SD Card medium does not give you any benefits. If anything, it will wear out your SD Card faster.<br>
<br>
yaffs is a file system designed to run on top of raw flash. An SD Card is not raw flash. It contains a raw flash chip, true, but it also contains a microcontroller with firmware which will make the raw flash look like a standard disk (block device). This firmware is called a &#39;flash translation layer&#39;.<br>

<br>
In short, if you want to use an SD Card as a storage medium, use a standard disk (block device) file system such as FAT.<br>
