Thanks for you experiences. It's true in digging around for info on this yaffs
problem what I found was not encouraging. I think I'll go down the jffs route
as well if I can clear the flash.
However , I can not find out how to boot vmlinux.bin that is supplied with
flash_eraseall_ignoreBB. It seems that I need both the tool and the kernel.
Can anyone enlighten me ?
TIA
