Dear all：
Now we are doing a platform porting of eCos kernel and redboot.
On the one hand, in order to enable dynamic memory configuration, we add a
cdl_option to our platform cdl to control memory size and export a
MACRO(e.g. CYG...SDRAM_SIZE_32M, CYG...SDRAM_SIZE_64M, etc.) to
<pkgconf/system.h>. Then in our mlt_arm_arm9_PLFNAME_ram.h(PLFNAME here is
out platform name, i.e. spca556g) we check the certain MACRO and decide
the actual RAM SIZE, SO in mlt_arm_arm9_PLFNAME_ram.h there contains MACRO
defined in <pkgconf/system.h>, any file includes this
mlt_arm_arm9_PLFNAME_ram.h should include <pkgconf/system.h> first.
On the other hand, there is a tcl script named "heapgen.tcl" in eCos
repository, which is used to generate a heaps.cxx file for compiling. In
this script(at about line 166), there is one line (puts $cfile [ concat
"#include " $memlayout_h ]), but we think this will cause some problem
sometimes because <pkgconf/system.h> may not be included before it. This
line will be written to $cfile(i.e. heaps.cxx), it includes
$memlayout_h(i.e. mlt_arm_arm9_PLFNAME_ram.h) and $memlayout_h contains
MACRO defined in <pkgconf/system.h>, but <pkgconf/system.h> is not
included before mlt_arm_arm9_PLFNAME_ram.h.
some contents from the beginnig of heaps.cxx(generated by heapgen.tcl
script) here:
**********************************************************************************************
/* heaps.cxx */
/* This is a generated file - do not edit! */
#include <pkgconf/heaps.hxx>
#include <pkgconf/mlt_arm_arm9_spca556g_ram.h>
#include <cyg/infra/cyg_type.h>
#include <cyg/hal/hal_intr.h>
#include <cyg/memalloc/dlmalloc.hxx>
...
**********************************************************************************************
Then compiler will complain that MACRO contained in
mlt_arm_arm9_PLFNAME_ram.h is not defined, however, it is defined in
<pkgconf/system.h> which is included later(but not useful).
what we want to discuss here is not the detail method(e.g. maybe simply
add "#include <pkgconf/system.h>" to mlt_arm_arm9_PLFNAME_ram.h is ok) on
how to solve the problem but which method should we choose.
1 We could add (puts $cfile "#include <pkgconf/system.h>") to heapgen.tcl
before (puts $cfile [ concat "#include " $memlayout_h ]) to assure
system.h is included before $memlayout_h(i.e. mlt_arm_arm9_PLFNAME_ram.h),
2 We could add "#include <pkgconf/system.h>" at the beginning of
mlt_arm_arm9_PLFNAME_ram.h,
We also want to discuss whether eCos should look at this or there may be
some misunderstanding of our opinion?
Thanks.

There is no opens source port that i know of. The license would also
make this difficult, since it appears to the plain GPL. You probably
need to get in contact with the commercial entity behind YAFFS it and
purchase an none GPL license version.
There is jffs2 in eCos. However that is better used with NOR flash.
