AFAIK, you can't write yaffs images using redboot. You need to write them using mkyaffs under linux. If anyone knows how to do this in redboot I'd like to know, but I've only gotten to work under linux using mkyaffs.

If i have a yaffs filesystem, created with
========================================
$ mkyaffsimage newroot ../new_rot.y7affs
and I attempt to write it to flash with redboot
(erase)
===========================================
RedBoot> fis erase 0x60004000 -l 0x10D00000
(load, say 0x12345 bytes to 0x00218000)
(write)
======================================================
RedBoot> fis write 0x60004000 -b 0x00218000 -l 0x12345
Why would a filesystem written in such a manner appear empty to the kernel?
When I boot the kernel normally, it says 'failed to find init', and then
when i mount the flash partition using an nfs root, all that I see there
is 'lost+found'. That means the kernel recognizes the partition as
yaffs, but doesn't acknowledge that there are any files there.
Should i be creating the yaffs image this this? :
===============================================
mkyaffsimage newroot ../new_rot.y7affs convert
Are the TS7200 boards using big-endian format? ... I always thought it
was little endian.
