Anyway, I=20 supose you just have to recompile the kernel with jffs2 filesystem=20 support and reflash it to the osk 5912 board. Nevertheless...why are you reflashing the board if you are using the=20 original montavista preview kit? Why not just download a .tar file with=20 your application to the board original filesystem? naga rajan wrote: >Dear Nishanth, > > > > I followed up the steps in the mail what u have >sent for my query.
