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.
