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?
