I'm wondering which command can be used to burn an image (loaded from whereever) into flash? There's a command for erasing, protecting and info but I cannot find something for flashing.

Umm... use the obvious: just copy the image to the destination address (i. e. use "cp.b <src> <dest> $(filesize)".

If you read the README, yu will also find out about a magic #define that allows to directly FTP into flash memory [which is usually a bad idea, as it is much more reliable to first make sure the download is successful _before_ you erase the old flash contents and re-program it from the local RAM contents].

Best regards,
