[U-Boot] Updating YAFFS2 RootFS

[David Andrey]

Hi,

 

I'm looking to update the linux yaffs2 rootfs from U-Boot (2009-06). The
whole update will be:

*         Take the rootfs.tgz from the yaffs2 "image" partition (ok,
with yrdm / ywrm) for update or restore purposes.

*         Unpack it (maybe gunzip)

*         Update the Linux YAFFS2 RootFS (how ?)

 

After a quick search (mail list, code) seems that:

*         No native support for this operation in u-boot.

*         Some "user" patch files exists  (out of date ?)

 

So, my questions:

*         Is the situation really like that ?

*         Which is the actual patch file ?

*         What about the future for YAFFS2 in U-Boot ? Is there any
update planned ?

 

Regards

David
