Hi,

Unless I have missed the point about what you are doing I don't think you can use JFFS2 (or YAFFS2) on SD cards. This is because the FLASH is made to look like a block device to the kernel. This allows you to use other file systems such as VFAT/FAT or EXT3/EXT2, the kernel treats it in the same way as any other 'disk' device. The same is true for USB FLASH devices.

To use JFFS2/YAFFS2 the FLASH needs to appear in the processor memory map as it would do when FLASH devices are mounted onto the board (for example to 2G of NAND FLASH on a DM355).

Thanks Amol.

When I searched on net for the file system on flash drive, I came to know about 
JFFS2
Has anybody used it? Hows its performance ?
Are there any issues with using JFFS2 with DM6446 platform ?
I want to perform heavy write/erase operations on flash.

EXT3 will be more robust. FAT32/16 gives better performance with current 
davinci SD drivers

Hi all,

I am using SanDisk iNAND SD Flash drive interfaced with
DM6446. I want to use flash drive to store some data
files.Files will be written by DM6446. Which file system
should I use on Flash drive for efficient access and good
performance??
