Help with YAFFS Format

Hi, 

 

Does anyone know if there is info on using YAFFS format with Nios? 

 

I'm looking at implementing an MP3 player, but the example design I've found on the Altera website supports FAT16 and not YAFFS. 

 

Can anyone help? 

 

Thanks, 

Claire

I do not know about YAFFS but jffs2 is supported in uCLinux.

Hi Claire, 

 

I'm assuming that NAND flash is a requirement, otherwise you don't need YAFFS. In any regard 

you might find the following useful:

YAFFS isn't in the linux tree as of 2.6.18, but the doc above is basically a howto. I've never tried 

to pull YAFFS into the kernel myself, nor have I ever used it. 

 

Please keep us informed about your progress :-) 

 

Good luck, 

--Scott
