Hi Charles Manning,

      I am working with yaffs on cygwin environment..

I am having two tasks at my hand..

1. i have to verify the yaffs image created on cygwin environment will work
as efficient as in other environment.

2. then i need to modify the yaffs code in such a way, mkyaffsimage should
take input as a tar file rather than a directory.

  As a new-bie to yaffs, i need your views and some pointers on this area..

Thanking you,
Ram

Ram,
I am not really competent to answer your question to the YAFFS list, but
Charles Manning's reply to a similar question recently is as follows:-

Hello

Further to my last email...

I built and ran the test code in cvs under cygwin with no modifications.

Process as follows:

1) You need cygwin with make, gcc etc.
2) Fetch tarball from http://www.aleph1.co.uk/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/yaffs2/
3) Unpack tarball
4) cd to yaffs2/direct
5) make
6) Run initialisation for test as follows:

./yaffs_test M18-1 fw_update_init 111

7) Run test code as follows:
./yaffs_test M18-1 fw_update 111

or by running the run_fw_update_test.sh script

Regards   Charles


I hope this will help. Thanks
LvS
