Hi, I have designed an SQLite3 application. My application is intended to periodically log data into the NAND flash on the imx53 board and i am unsure about some aspect therefore i’m here hoping to seek answers. my questions are, (a) Is JFFS2 a good filesystem to use with SQLite3? If not, what other fs are there? (b) If I use JFFS2, do I need to partition the flash with a JFFS2 partition ? (c) Is there any document or reading references I can refer to, to know how to work on it? (d)what might the necessary configuration I may need to do to get it working? Please advise thanks. Regards, Jian Rong ---

Refer ftp://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/EmbeddedLinuxPHP-SQLite.pdf ftp://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/EmbeddedLinuxPHP-SQLite.zip This doc is written for DEL 4.x, but with less modification you should be able to use now. I am not sure about issues with JFFS2 and SQLite. maybe you can use ubifs? or some other format? While creating a new kernel/rootfs project you can find all supported filesystems. Choose the right one for you. Format flash from uboot for this FS and try
