This is a preliminary page dealing with the installation of UBIFS on the APF boards. UBIFS will replace JFFS2 file system on NAND (and NOR as well) based boards because JFFS2 induces a big overhead when parsing, reading and writing large devices, see UBIFS scalability.

A new file 'ubinize.cfg' defining the ubi volumes is located in buildroot/target/ubifs/. This file contains the different UBI volumes of the UBI image:
[ubifs]
mode=ubi
vol_id=0
vol_type=dynamic
vol_name=rootfs
vol_alignment=1
vol_flags=autoresize
This file is processed by the ubinize utility after mkfs.ubifs.
U-Boot can read files from the rootfs / UBIFS partition using the commands: uni, ubifsmount, ubifsls, ubifsload. Here is an example applicable to the apf27, apf28 and apf51 boards:

Done
Acces to UBIFS files from U-Boot can used to do an update of your system after deployement on site through some U-Boot scripts..
