Hi All,

Thanks for your support and coperation.

I am able to read files using YAFFS Direct interface.

Now I want to copy a binary file e.g. XYZ into RAM's specified address.

How can I get the start address of file XYZ on NAND flash with file-size
(EOF)?

Is there any patch release to support this functionality?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Saquib
