Hi,
I need to port eCos to a new platform and during my pre - design phase, I encountered the following problem.
The platform has two different types of flash memory :
- Compact Flash memory (of 64 MB up to 2 GB)
- Fixed Nand Flash (of 64 MB)
I would like to use the FAT16 - filesystem for accessing the information stored on the Compact Flash,
but the JFFS2 - filesystem is extremely usefull for the fixed flash memory (there is storage of status information on this memory
so lots of writing and erasing going on).
Can these 2 filesystems be used together in eCos.
Or is there an alternative for this problem?
kind regards,
K. Boerjan

There's no problem using both file systems with eCos. The
one problem you will encounter is that eCos has woeful support
for NAND FLASH. Getting JFFS2 to work with your NAND FLASH
would be a sizeable effort.
