</div>To flash something via USB cable with dfu-util you have to be in the<br>
NOR boot menu. But it's totally legal to reflash /dev/mtd1 (u-boot),<br>
mtd2 (u-boot_env) or mtd3 (kernel) when you have booted into the<br>
rootfs in NAND. When you've booted from sd-card, you can reflash mtd6<br>
(rootfs) too. Use flash_eraseall and nand_write for this.<br>
<br>
Writing to /dev/mtd0 (NOR boot) is possible without debug board too,<br>
you need need to enable write access to it. See<br>
