basics on jffs2

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
