I am not using busybox stuff. dd if=some_file of=/dev/flashXY bs=ZZZk conv=sync whith: X = 'a' for the first, 'b' for the second flash bank, etc. Y = number of the flash partition (1 = 1st, 2 = 2nd, etc.) ZZZ = your erase block size For instance, I can use dd if=/tmp/ppcboot.bin of=/dev/flasha1 bs=128k conv=sync to write a new PPCboot image to soem of our boards. Be careful - /dev/flasha is the full 1st flash bank (unpartitioned). The devices names are similar to those of harddisks.
