Hi Everyone,
After some frustration using DVFlasher and MONO to program my
DaVinci board, I have decided to write a pure UNIX/Linux serial
loader/flasher application called dvnixload. Here is the project web
page:

     http://www.hugovil.com/en/dvnixload/

I have tested it successfully to program the UBL[1] and
U-Boot in the NAND flash on my DM6446-based SFFSDR board. Tests were
done with an old-fashioned serial port as well as a USB to
serial converter with success.

It is very simple to use as you don't have to pass command
line arguments to specify the UBL or application load address: this
information is automatically extracted from the ELF headers (input
files are in ELF format).

If some people find it useful, maybe we could post a link about it on
the TI DaVinci wiki.

Comments/suggestions/patches are welcomed.

Hugo Villeneuve.

[1] Use the UBL from this location:
