iPhone/iPod touch compatible DFU mode is included in a modified dfu- util written by planetbeing and the iPhone Dev Team as part of xpwn. The current version now allows manual file upload. If the iPod DFU is the same, this should work. I had to mess with some cmake files to get dfu-util to actually compile. http://github.com/planetbeing/xpwn/tree/master
