Hi Kishore,

Thanks for the info.  Yeah, that was the case.  Were you able to get MTD JFFS2 
working
under the Montavista kernel (linux-2.6.10_mvl401) that came with DVSDK?   I 
wasn't  able
to so I used the GIT kernel and it worked.  However, I'm having weird problems 
with the
GIT kernel booting up.  It would boot up fine until it stalls at:

Freeing init memory: 100K
INIT:

at which point I have to manual press Enter several times to force it to 
continue booting up.

Anyone else has this problem with the GIT kernel booting up?

Regards,
Andy

HI

       You cannot use both of them at same time. They are pin multiplexed.
