Hi,

I have a client that has used yaffs1/2 on a Linux 2.4 kernel for some time and was forced to use a newer NAND part. This part has the larger page size so the yaffs software that they have tried switching to yaffs2 but it seems to have some bugs so they sent a unit to me with almost all of the blocks marked "bad". I got the latest git repository but noticed that Linux 2.4 support was not included. Some questions:

That is most likely due to NAND driver issues rather than Yaffs itself.

Can you tell me what NAND part you are now using?

1) What git tag represents the last known yaffs release that supported Linux 2.4?

If you have a working yaffs version on 2.4 then it should be relatively easy to port the latest Yaffs code to working with the yaffs_vfs.c from your working kernle.

There have been some changes in the yaffs_vfs.c to yaffs internals, but these are generally more stable than those between the kernel and the yaffs_vfs.c

2) Is there a different yaffs repository that supports Linux 2.4 somewhere?

Perhaps, but I don't know of one.

Just FYI, upgrading to a more recent Linux is not an option for this product.

Regards

Charles
