In general, how to deploy > root file system for embedded linux with flash storage? - add jffs2 support to your kernel - create your image using mkfs.jffs2 from mtd-utils - flash the image - specify the rootfs partition and type in the bootargs of the kernel for further information i recommend the lecture of http://free-electrons.com/doc/flash-filesystems.pdf depending on your requirements/size of the rootfs partitions UBIFS might be an option to consider -- Matthias Kaehlcke Embedded Linux Developer Barcelona El trabajo es el refugio de los que no tienen nada que hacer (Oscar Wilde) .''`. using free software / Debian GNU/Linux | http://debian.org : :' : `. `'` gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 47D8E5D4 `- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@nl.linux.org Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
