Re: [Yaffs] Access to files on a YAFFS2 image

Charles,

    That sounds interesting, but I have no idea what you mean by
"yaffs direct" or nand-on-file emulation. (though I'm looking through
Google now, and I do see some references to "yaffs direct") Can you
provide a link to documentation for mounting using this technique?
        Thanks
            John

Another approach is to run this up in yaffs direct using a nand-on-file
emulation.
