You can also read/write NAND flash through JTAG. This is very useful when you 
have bricked your NAND.
I have used a Ronetix PEEDI flash programmer a lot, it has a telnet interface 
and can read/write/erase things with or without OOB.
I am now just setting up to use OpenOCD which now has Davinci NAND support. 
Also good for debugging bootloaders, etc. And dirt cheap interface hardware is 
available.
