For Balloon 3 this is all superseded by bflash,
now in svn.

Basic support for Balloon2 is included but may well be broken.
Adding support for new NOR devices and for other devices on the chain should
be relatively easy.

We've been using bflash for configuring this first batch of L3's.

I've actually been looking at using JFlash_MM, which seems to be Intel's
latest variant of the code that at one time or other was hacked to make
jflash-balloon.

It requires a config file for the platform and another for the NOR memory.

The plaform config file is largely based on the bsdl file for a particular 
processor, but with some possibly board specific things like which 
additional output lines need holding hi/lo while programming the flash. 
Intel have example config files for PXA27x based boards so we can probably 
just borrow one with a few tweaks.

The NOR config file is loaded automatically based on manufacturer and 
device ids. The last version of JFlash_MM that I saw didn't ship with one 
for the 29LV650UE (is that what we're going to be using) which would 
require a config file called Flash_22D7_1_16.dat. These files are not 
complicated and I've already written one for the 29LV650UE but haven't had 
a chance to test it yet.
