Ranesh,
as Larry suggested, it is better that you really start
from the documentation:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html
http://cygwin.com/docs.html
How to install is here:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html
mtd is present both in the
cygwin-1.5 and in the cygwin-1.7 (currently beta)
and it seems to work fine:
$ /usr/sbin/mkfs.jffs2.exe -h
mkfs.jffs2: Usage: mkfs.jffs2 [OPTIONS]
Make a JFFS2 file system image from an existing directory tree
[cut]
Regards
Marco
