There are two useful utilities for this. They are in CVS under /utils:

* mkyaffsimage: This takes a directory and builds a yaffs file system image 
from it. This file is in the form of NAND pages that you can write to NAND 
quite simply (eg. with bootloder style code) or you can write with mkyaffs.

* mkyaffs: Format an mtd for YAFFS. Optionally load it with an image 
generated by mkyaffsimage.

Hope that is what you were looking for.
