Honored Contributor>1. create a jffs2 filesystem
>You can create a filesystem image with mkfs.jffs2 and download it to your jffs2 partition. >As an alternative, you can simply erase your jffs2 partition. The only time I used mkfs.jffs2 was on an uClinux box and it had mkfs.jffs2 on it. So I created the directory structure in RAM and then ran mkfs.jffs2 on the uClinux box and it created the image. I then used erase and copied the image over. Then I used mount. Can you explain how you create the image in more detail? Do you use a Linux box to create it or do you download the source and compile it on a windows box using cygwin, or do you compile it in NIOS? How do I download it to the jffs2 partition? How do I create the jffs2 partition? Do I need Redboot? Thanks
