yaffs2 is not a _standard_ file system for Android. There may be some
phones which use it, but the much more common is either FAT (for the
older phones) or ext4. The Google AOSP releases for pretty much all
modern Nexus phones (Galaxy Nexus and newer if I recall correctly,
certainly for GN, N4, N7, etc.) all use ext4.

So if your existing Android device is using yaffs2, you'll need to
integrate yaffs2, since yaff2 is not in the upstream kernel. As far
as hardware support, it will depend on the specifics of your
development board, and I'm not enough of an ARM expert to answer that
question. Others hopefully on this list will be able to answer it.
