260 tiffs-mkfs This utility constructs a TI flash file system (TIFFS) image
261 completely from scratch "in vitro", containing initial directory
262 and file content given by a Unix directory and file tree on the
263 host system. The resulting image can then be flashed into a
264 Calypso GSM device running FreeCalypso firmware. Please note
265 that FFS images made with tiffs-mkfs are acceptable ONLY to
266 FreeCalypso firmware versions as of 2020-05-22 or later (prior
267 versions contain a bug in their handling of journal creation on
268 boot), and are NOT approved for use with any non-FC firmwares.
