NFTL for using FAT file system on NAND data partition

[Gangadhar Kodishala]

Hi Falls,

We may not move to 2.6.x for this application since all our other drivers
are 
based on the current version.

Why NFTL cannot be used on a bare nand chip ?

Please give me some more details on how I can use the yaffs and a loop file
for the
FAT file system ? We are already using the JFFS2 for the root file system
partition.
Can we use the JFFS2 with a loop file for FAT file system ?

Thanks.

Best Regards,
Gangadhar

Hello!

   Don't use NFTL on bare nand chip .

1.
   You can use yaffs  for your nand flash ,then create a loop file in
yaffs for fat filesystem.
2.
   upgrade to 2.6.x and try UBI .
