yafut: use a reproducible timestamp

2026-09-22T16:46:30Z

yaffsfs_CurrentTime() returns the wall clock, and Yaffs writes that value to the access, modification and change time of every object header. The RouterBOARD images of ipq40xx/mikrotik therefore differ on every build, and so does the sysupgrade metadata checksum that follows them. Add a patch that reads SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, which the build already exports. Tested with two images written one second apart. They are identical with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set and differ without it.

tools: add Yafut to enable creating Yaffs filesystem images

2024-06-05T15:03:24Z

The Yafut tool has so far been used to update the kernel on devices with NAND flash via MTD character devices. Recent upstream updates extended the tool with limited support for working with filesystem images stored in regular files. This enables Yafut to be used for preparing a Yaffs filesystem image for a device with NOR flash on a build host and subsequently flashing it to the target device without using Yafut itself. Add Yafut to tools/ so that it can be compiled and run on the host building OpenWRT. Signed-off-by: Michał Kępień Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/13453 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko
