I think that 'nandwrite' might be what you're looking for:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# nandwrite --help
Usage: nandwrite [OPTION] MTD_DEVICE INPUTFILE
Writes to the specified MTD device.
-a, --autoplace Use auto oob layout
-j, --jffs2 force jffs2 oob layout (legacy support)
-y, --yaffs force yaffs oob layout (legacy support)
-f, --forcelegacy force legacy support on autoplacement enabled
mtd device -n, --noecc write without ecc
-o, --oob image contains oob data
-s addr, --start=addr set start address (default is 0)
-p, --pad pad to page size
-b, --blockalign=1|2|4 set multiple of eraseblocks to align to
-q, --quiet don't display progress messages
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
I wasn't able to get it to do much without a man page though...
HTH,
-Dale
