I used it about a year ago with NAND flash. For NOR the usage is a bit less compelling. As the scan time is slow, you end up using an extra partition for it anyway to keep the time down...might have almost been in raw at that point for nor. Yaffs may be useable now for nand, but don't think anyone has ported it in at the loader yet...

Some of the upsides is you can update using nice file based things at the kernel level if jffs is there, and if you have the time to wait on boot, then you can put it all in a big partition.

Hi,

sorry to be a pest, A while ago I posted a message asking about support for JFFS2 within U-boot.

I didn't get a response so I'm wondering if anyone uses this feature? in reading the code, it seems as though there are many comments indicating that the support is a "less than elegant" implementation. (to be more specific they say have a paper bag ready in case you have to puke :]

that said, does anyone use this feature.. it seems to me that it is very useful to have and many would want it.. on the other hand I know that the JFFS2 people have moved forward and don't support older kernels and thus maybe this code is out of date.. or (more likely) my kernel is out of date.

anyway, if anyone who has some experience with using JFFS2 in concert w/ u-boot could respond, I would be very grateful

btw: the problems I am having seem to be related to reading symbolic links.

thanks for you help
