RE: [Yaffs] Products shipping YAFFS ??

I'm trying to understand the relative merits of JFFS2 vs YAFFS2. The
response on the YAFFS mailing list is quite positive as far as leading
me to believe that there are actual products shipping.

Hi Charles

There is no hard list. If you look on the yaffs list, you can figure out
a bit
by looking at email addresses.

I know of many products shipping with YAFFS, but I am unable to give out
those
sorts of detail without permission.

These products range through cell phones, PDAs, consumer (TV,
entertainment,
MP3), aerospace, vehicle navigation, point of sale,....

Most people are using YAFFS with Linux and many have used pre-configured

bundles (such as produced by MontaVista). As such, I often don't even
hear
about most usage. Sometimes the first I hear of a YAFFS usage is when a
manufacturer asks for some details about how to program the NAND chips.
Sometimes the first I find out is when I hear from someone who knows me
that
has fiddled with an embedded device and seen that it runs a yaffs
partition.

There has been a huge uptake of YAFFS in Linux cell phones (particularly
in
Korea).

Almost all YAFFS development has been funded, mainly by people wanting
to add
some new feature to YAFFS.

So sorry, no concrete data :-).
