[Yaffs] Problems when making yaffs direct

[Reggiani, Adamo]

My approach to yaffs_direct was a little bit different.
AFAIK yaffs_direct is made to be compiled inside your apps/os, instead =
of using the standard yaffs kernel module.

I've tested it last year with a small rtos (named TargetOS) and i've =
done this steps:
- make a new directory with this files: devextras.h dtest.c yaffs_ecc.c =
yaffs_ecc.h yaffs_flashif.c yaffs_flashif.h yaffs_guts.c yaffs_guts.h =
yaffs_ramdisk.c yaffs_ramdisk.h yaffscfg.c yaffscfg.h yaffsfs.c =
yaffsfs.h yaffsinterface.h yportenv.h

- puts file reference in your makefile/project environment (this depend =
on the toolchain, etc.)

- modify the yaffscfg.c and yaffscfg.h to fit your environment; this =
normally means to define a way to lock/unlock yaffs access (through =
semaphore, mutex, etc.), and eventually your customized init

- call somewhere in your app some test function (cache_read_test, =
long_test, ...)

- compile it

That's all, and works well for me.

Note that in the reported file list i've mentioned yaffs_ramdisk.c, this =
because i've tested yaffs in ram.
I suggest to do the same the first time, it's simpler than using nand =
drivers.
After you've set up correctly your environment you can switch to =
nand/mtd or whatever.
