No other mean than to ask Siemens, I'm afraid.

Watch for license issues - YAFFS either costs a fortune (unless
you will be producing quite a lot of devices) or you'll need
to publish the sources. Which might be a problem and you'll
need to check with Siemens first. The docs for the network part
of the ERTEC200 chip is not publicly available so you'll have
to stick with their driver source (good luck reading it - been
there, done that :/ ) at least for that part, which might or might
not allow combining with GPL code.
