You can mkfs.jffs2 the file system on the host computer:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/mkfs.jffs2
Then you can either copy separately the binary file of the file system
to the target, or you can transform it into a .h file and compile and
link it with your application (assuming the application is a ROM or a
ROMRAM application).
