I had real problems with this - the yaffs source I obtained from the 
yaffs-website never worked for me, and debugging it looked like it was 
going to be quite an effort.

I don't believe that the yaffs currently available is compatible with 
the TS11 one.

Rather than debug it I moved away from using the nand flash for anything 
other than booting the system.  Everything else is done via the sdcard - 
which I am significantly happier with.

My understanding is that yaffs was branched for use on Google Android - 
and that their branch is significantly more stable; however, I never 
looked into it in detail.
