[NUC970/N9H30] YAFFS2 rootfs

[pseudonym]

Q: I am trying to boot board from NAND flash. So i modified u-boot environment variable file i.e. env.txt. I compiled the kernel with "yaffs2" support and disabled "Initial Ram file system" configuration. The kernel crashes with error. Attached env.txt and log file.
env.txt:

A: Please make sure yaffs2 rootgs partition is correctly generate with inband-tags option and program to NAND flash with NuWriter. And refer to the Linux BSP user manual for the bootargs to mount yaffs partition as rootfs.

Q: As you told i had made yaffs2 root file system with inband-tags as below

A: Please make sure you pass the rootflags=inband-tags mount option as described in previous port. yaffs will report the mount option flag if the option is correctly set.
