Hi
I am using MPC8313 board which is currently booting with JFFS2 root file
system.
I am using linux kernel version 2.6.23 from FreeScale's LTIB for MPC8313.
As, I want it to boot with YAFFS2 root file system, I did compile kernel
with yaffs2 support, craeted yaffs2 rootfile system and passed yaffs2
partiton of nand in bootargs. However it didnot work.
If any one has done it successfully, can please share the steps to be
followed ?
Thanks
Rupesh
Hi
Thanks for reply.
After erasing one of the flash partition, i mounted it as yaffs2 and
manually created rootfs there.
Though it (careting RFS in NAND partiton) marked blocks bad, I am able to
boot with this yaffs2 filesystem.
When image is created with mkyffs2image binary, board does not boot with
that and says kernel panic.
1. What nand flash is on-board? what's the size of the nand flash page
size, 512/2048?
Nand Flash used on board is K9F2G08U0M-P from Samsung and page size is
2048.
2. what's the version of mkyaffs2image you are using?
mkyaffs2image: image building tool for YAFFS2 built Jan 31 2009
3. Can you mount an empty nand flash partition using yaffs2 type,
mount /dev/mtdblock##x xxx
Yes, i wrote RFS contents to the nand flash partition and booted with
that.
4. It's better to attatch bootup message.
Bootup message is attached for both conditions
1) booting with manually created RFS on flash drive mounted as
yaffs2(boot-up_manual_RFS.txt).
2) booting with yaffs2 image created by mkyaffs2image tool.
Note :- below are steps used for writing RFS iamge
~ # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd11
~ # nandwrite -a -o /dev/mtd11 rootrfs_1.yaffs2
Thanks

More detailed info maybe helpful for debugging this issue.

Bootup message is attached for both conditions
1) booting with manually created RFS on flash drive mounted as
yaffs2(boot-up_manual_RFS.txt).
2) booting with yaffs2 image created by mkyaffs2image tool.
Note :- below are steps used for writing RFS iamge
~ # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd11
~ # nandwrite -a -o /dev/mtd11 rootrfs_1.yaffs2
After you nandwrite the yaffs2 rootfs image, you should mount the
partition to validate if it's right.
For your situation, there is probably only one "lost+found" dir under
the mounted partition.
You maybe took notice that there is one option "oob_ecc_size" for
mkyaffs2image.Default is 0.
if your mkyaffs2image has no such option, you should update it.
Here are some comments of the patch for adding "oob_ecc_size", hope
helpful for you
" The main problem was that mkyaffs2image was writing YAFFS2 OOB data
into the OOB area that the MTD
driver uses for ECC. Therefore we need to leave room inside the OOB
yaffs2 image space for data ECC.
This is achieved by introducing a new optional parameter called
oob_ecc_size to specify the size of data ECC
(e.g. for 2k page/64bytes OOB, this data ECC is 14 bytes). "
