Hi all
I want to use JFFS on a custom made PPC860 board. This board will have NOR
flash memory(Intel) and will probably use ppcboot(suggestions for better
boot loader welcome).
Can I have ppcboot share a flash device with JFFS?
something like this:
FLASH device 1:
------------------------- address 0
| ppcboot |
|-----------------------|
| linux kernel |
|-----------------------|
| start of JFFS |
| |
| |
| |
| |
-------------------------
FLASH device 2:
-------------------------
| JFFS continued |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
-------------------------
ppcboot starts after a reset, loads the linux kernel image. The linux kernel
expects to find JFFS at some offset(compiled into JFFS) in the flash device.
Is this possible or do I need an extra boot flash where ppcboot and linux
kernel goes?
