Charles I looked at where I could set the startBlock and endBlock (btw - start_block and end_block are used in cmd_onenand.c) and I saw that in yaffscfg.c (flashDev->startBlock = 0; for yaffsVersion == 2).
Is this the place do change flashDev->endBlock = nBlocks - 1; to flashDev->endBlock = N - 1, where N desired number of blocks? Also, do you have or can point me to a comprehensive YAFFS2 commands document?
