Hi Paul,
You can actually write the falsh via U-Boot, it has a necessary SPI
flash driver. Goal here is just to put U-Boot in the RAM via JTAG.,
then you are good.

Yegor,
>From what I see WRTNode exposes standard JTAG header, meaning that all
you need to do is write a correct TCL script to set-up the CPU and
RAM.

I would suggest that you take a look at U-Boot procedures and see what
registers it sets in order to set-up RAM correctly.

You would probably end up with something like this:
https://github.com/pepe2k/u-boot_mod/issues/2, and I see no reason for
this not to work - unless JTAG header is not routed correctly in HW...

Best regards,
Drasko
