u-boot中支持jffs2的分析

/增加相应的环境变量值

安装mkfs.jffs2命令工具方法

方法一、http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/ 1.获取mtd-utils-1.1.0.tar.bz2压缩包 2.解压后，make (若编译不通过则进行根据错误提示判断是否执行第三步) 3.yum install lzo-devel 4.再make 5.将mkfs.jffs、mkfs.jffs2复制到/usr/sbin/目录下即可

方法二、在宿主机上(fedora系统)运行 yum install mtd-utils

命令使用实例： mkfs.jffs2 -b -n -s 0x1000 -e 0x20000 -p 0x03200000 -d rootfs/ -o jffs2.img 说明： 根据目标板cpu支持的模式选择 -l(小端) -b(大端) ----这个很重要，不然u-boot识别不出来 页大小0x1000 4k 块大小0x20000 128k jffs2分区总空间0x03200000即50M,生成的jffs2.img并没有一下子分配50M

If SIZE is not specified, the output is padded to the end of the final erase block -r, -d, --root=DIR Build file system from directory DIR (default: cwd) -s, --pagesize=SIZE Use page size (max data node size) SIZE (default: 4KiB) -e, --eraseblock=SIZE Use erase block size SIZE (default: 64KiB) -c, --cleanmarker=SIZE Size of cleanmarker (default 12) -m, --compr-mode=MODE Select compression mode (default: priortiry) -x, --disable-compressor=COMPRESSOR_NAME Disable a compressor -X, --enable-compressor=COMPRESSOR_NAME Enable a compressor -y, --compressor-priority=PRIORITY:COMPRESSOR_NAME Set the priority of a compressor -L, --list-compressors Show the list of the avaiable compressors -t, --test-compression Call decompress and compare with the original (for test) -n, --no-cleanmarkers Don't add a cleanmarker to every eraseblock -o, --output=FILE Output to FILE (default: stdout) -l, --little-endian Create a little-endian filesystem -b, --big-endian Create a big-endian filesystem -D, --devtable=FILE Use the named FILE as a device table file -f, --faketime Change all file times to '0' for regression testing -q, --squash Squash permissions and owners making all files be owned by root -U, --squash-uids Squash owners making all files be owned by root -P, --squash-perms Squash permissions on all files --with-xattr stuff all xattr entries into image --with-selinux stuff only SELinux Labels into jffs2 image --with-posix-acl stuff only POSIX ACL entries into jffs2 image -h, --help Display this help text -v, --verbose Verbose operation -V, --version Display version information -i, --incremental=FILE Parse FILE and generate appendage output for it

其他jffs2相关信息:

在linux的PC上挂载jffs2根文件系统映像 因为jffs2是构建于MTD设备上的文件系统，所以无法通过loop设备来挂载，但是可以通过mtdram设备来挂载。mtdram是在用RAM实现的MTD设备，可以通过mtdblock设备来访问。使用mtdram设备很简单，只要加载mtdram和mtdblock两个内核模块即可。这两个内核模块一般的linux内核发行版都有编译好的，直接用modprobe命令加载。 下面是具体步骤： (1).加载mtdblock内核模块 modprobe mtdblock (2).加载mtdram内核模块，将该设备的大小指定为jffs2根文件系统映像的大小，块擦除大小（即flash的块大小）指定为制作该jffs2根文件系统时“-e”参数指定的大小，缺省为64KB。下面两个参数的单位都是KB。 modprobe mtdram total_size=5120 erase_size=256

(3).这时将出现MTD设备/dev/mtdblock0，使用dd命令将jffs2根文件系统拷贝到/dev/mtdblock0设备中。 dd if=jffs2.img of=/dev/mtdblock0 (4).将保存了jffs2根文件系统的MTD设备挂载到指定的目录上。 mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/mtd

这之后就可以到/mnt/mtd目录查看、修改挂载的jffs2根文件系统了，修改后的jffs2根文件系统可以通过dd命令拷贝为一个jffs2的映像文件
