Author: Christian Bünnig Date: To: yaffs Subject: [Yaffs] Re: problem in creating yaffs image
I could not solve the problem, but I found a way to shift around.
When creating a YAFFS2 image with mkyaffs2image, the files within the
directory to create an image from does not appear in the root directory
of the created image, they _exist_, but they are not shown. In deed they
exist as directories (try a cd into them). But i could not delete or
even list them (segmentation fault).
Is this a bug in mkyaffs2image?
A workaround is to
-> create an empty yaffs2 image with mkyaffs2image:
mkdir dummy
mkyaffs2image dummy img.yaffs
-> write into flash:
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0
nandwrite -a -o /dev/mtd0 img.yaffs
-> mount /dev/mtd0
-> and write all files via cp into the filesystem
that works for me, but it is not the best solution
