Summary
Tested embedded Linux S3C2440 for partitions and YAFFS2 FileSystem with successful result. Embedded Linux S3C2440 booted up on Linux kernel with YAFFS2 FileSystem support and root_yaffs root file image downloaded to a partition of NAND flash.
S3C2440 NAND flash 4 partition
The NAND flash of S3C2440 board has been divided into 4 partitions. The partition table in Bootloader is consistent with the default machine configuration of the board as below,
| Name | Offset | Size |
|---|---|---|
| vivi “u-boot” | 0x000000000000 | 0x000000040000 |
| param “u-boot-env” | 0x000000040000 | 0x000000020000 |
| “kernel” | 0x000000060000 | 0x000000660000 |
| “root” | 0x000000660000 | 0x00003fa80000 |
Type q at bootloader menu to enter vivi shell, to use part show to show partition table.

Supervivi> The default partitions of the NAND flash is hard coded in file arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/mach-mini2440.c, as shown below,
/* NAND Flash on MINI2440 board */static struct mtd_partition mini2440_default_nand_part[] __initdata = {
[0] = {
.name = "u-boot",.size = SZ_256K,.offset = 0,},[1] = {
.name = "u-boot-env",.size = SZ_128K,.offset = SZ_256K,},[2] = {
.name = "kernel",/* 5 megabytes, for a kernel with no modules* or a uImage with a ramdisk attached */.size = 0x00600000,.offset = SZ_256K + SZ_128K,},[3] = {
.name = "root",.offset = SZ_256K + SZ_128K + 0x00600000,.size = MTDPART_SIZ_FULL,},
};
The first partition “u-boot” is used to store the bootloader.
The second partition is used to store parameters of bootloader.
The third partition is used to store kernel.
The fourth partition is used to store the root file system.
The bootloader supports YAFFS2 file system.
Patch the Linux Kernel to support YAFFS2
The source code of YAFFS2 is in the folder /home/iot/mini2440/rootfilesystem/yaffs2-4e188b0, patch the linux kernel.

As my Fedora Linux is working on Oracle virtualbox virtual machine, somehow the downloading of the rootfs was not working properly and downloading will hang after a few seconds of writing, I have to use a imageUSB software to make a Fedora USB booting, and bootup from Fedora Linux USB on my laptop computer to use the physical USB port to download the rootfs. The loading was successful, below is the photo,

Problems, trouble shooting and solutions
Problem 1, How to force Fedora to start to command line console mode?
I had created Fedora USB booting to use my laptop computer to use the physical USB port to download the rootfs yaffs2 file, so have to bootup to command line console mode, as below photo shows, have put 3 at the end of vmlinuz line. Refer to this link How to force Fedora 12 to start to text mode?

Problem 2, How to mount usb flash drive in fedora?
Refer to this link how to mount usb flash drive in fedora?, use this commmad mount /dev/disk/by-label/USBlabel /mnt/ can mount the USB drive.
Problem 3, Managing minicom settings
If minicomsetting was not correct, need to change the minicom setting, refer to this link, Managing minicom settings, use command minicom -s to change the setting such as port, and save the setting as file name alix, re-use the setting by startup the minicom as minicom alix.
Problem 4, Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,3)

No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 ext2 ext4 vfat
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,3)Firstly refer to this link SD card kernel panic, I thought the Ext3 file system was not included into Kernel, added the Ext3 file system support and re-compile the kernel,
<*> Ext3 journalling file system support
After test I found it was not caused by the setting of Ext3 file system support, it was caused by yaffs2 file system support below, when I was doing the test, I missed out below setting step, after I set the yaffs2 setting, re-compile the kernel and download the new zImage, the kernel panic issue was resolved.

Problem 5, cannot bootup from Fedora USB system
The booting wasn’t entering the Fedora USB system, have to make some changes to my Lenovo X1 BIOS setting, as below,
In the Startup, have to set the UEFI/Legacy Boot as both.
