Many thanks!
But as I'm not so good in application writing: What's about using
kernel#s nandsim
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.file-systems.yaffs/2005-07/msg00146.html
http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems.yaffs/2006-06/msg00017.html

A quick look seems that this will not help due to missing mkyaffs2?
From usage point of view sounds like having an "unyaffs2"
(mkyaffs2image counterpart) would be the easiest way for the user?
