Hello All,
My former discussion is a misleading in issue "Failed to execute /linuxrc. Attempting defaults...".
I wrongly use "nand write.yaffs" to program yaffs2 image to 2K page NAND flash.
So, no matter how I change the settings in mkyaffs2image and kernel configuration, I always get the error during the last booting stage: yaffs2 mounting.
It's really a pity that the latest uboot still not support yaffs2 programming.
We are really expecting some new commands, like "nand write.yaffs2",are added in the upcoming version :)
Best Regards,
Bi Mingliang

Hello All, Charles,
I have several puzzling points in mkyaffs2image.c, which lead its malfunction.
1.A wrong size parameter 0xFFFF is given to write_chunk() in function write_object_header
write_chunk(bytes,obj_id,0,0xffff);
perhaps it should like this: write_chunk(bytes,obj_id,0,2048);
2.According the following description, we clearly get the 64 bytes layout for yaffs2.
http://www.yaffs.net/yaffs-2-specification-and-development-notes
So, there seems some problems in definition for the following two structures.
1) unsigned should be changed to a standard u32 in case of 64-bit machine. Although it’s unsigned is defined as u32, but it’s not throughly for a 64-bit machine.
2) The sequence of seq_number, obj_id, chunk_id and n_bytes is not the same as the description in yaffs offcial link.
3) n_bytes should be only two bytes before block_sequence, so u16 could be right.
struct yaffs_packed_tags2_tags_only {
unsigned seq_number;
unsigned obj_id;
unsigned chunk_id;
unsigned n_bytes;
};
3.And for struct yaffs_ecc_other, it seems the 3 bytes tagsECC,so:
struct yaffs_ecc_other {
unsigned char col_parity;
unsigned line_parity;
>> unsigned char line_parity
unsigned line_parity_prime;
>>unsigned char line_parity_prime
};

Erased flash starts off 0xff and can then be changed by setting 1 bits to 0
bits.
If the tags are full of 0xff then chunk_used should be 0.

I don't understand quite what you mean here can you give a slightly more
detailed descriprion.
