You can find the sample test code at:
ecos/packages/fs/jffs2/current/tests.
********************
mount( CYGDAT_IO_FLASH_BLOCK_DEVICE_NAME_1, "/", "jffs2" );
will work. Look for CYGDAT_IO_FLASH_BLOCK_DEVICE_NAME_1 in your ecos.ecc
file. It will "/dev/flash1", or something.
CYGDAT_IO_FLASH_BLOCK_DEVICE_NAME_1 is the device that will be mounted.
"/" is fine. This will be your current default directory.

Alok

Okay, thanks, but what are the correct mount() parameters? I'm not a
Unix/Linux person, so I'm not familiar with the usual semantics of
mounting.
What is "/dev/flash/fis/jffs2"? Is that my "device name", the thing that
gets mounted? Do I then specify an arbitrary folder to mount it at,
perhaps
just "/" since this is the only file system I've got?
