Yes, it doesn't work yet :-) # cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name # This is also interesting, during boot: DIL/Net ADNP flash: 0x400000 at 0x2000000 FLASH virtual address: 0xc180d000 CFI: Found no ADNP Flash Bank device at location zero > > Yes, but it is nearly one year old. > > .. which doesn't necessarily mean it's outdated... This document will attempt to describe setting up the MTD (Memory Technology Devices), DOC, CFI and the JFFS (Journaling Flash File System) under Linux versions 2.2.x and 2.4.x According to what I've read on the list it looks like it is currently more like for 2.4 and 2.5? I've found a hint somewhere in the list archive that ther exists an 2_4-branch, but trying to check it out results in nearly all files being removed from my working copy. Is there any possibility to find out for a cvs repository which branches do exist? However, a hint in the howto would be great how things are meant to work for 2.4 and for 2.5. If you send me the infos I'll send a patch :-) This: http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/ is also terribly outdated (latest changelog from 2000). And there's no pointer on this page to David's page at Red Hat, which contains a nice paper about MTD/JFFS. > I read in an earlier mail that your problem is with compiling the utils > (all of them or is it just mkfs.jffs ?).

Don't ask - some dark magic has blown most of the problems away today, I can compile the tools now. Robert -- +--------------------------------------------------------+ | Dipl.-Ing.
