Is there something in the proc file system or sys file system that allows you to determine the JFFS2 state or something similar. I need to be able to notify a user that the flash has been written successfully after open, write, and close operations. Thank you.
If you are using regular NOR flash and have the write buffer disabled,
anything you write via the write system call will be written to flash
before it returns. The open call doesn't cause any writes, and close
is supposed to flush all pending writes before it returns.
There is always fsync or sync as well.
