Yet another alternative for the problem already solved by DFU[1]? Damn, after some recent activity in this area again I was starting to raise my hopes that more people realize such a thing exists already :(
OK, there appears to be U-boot support as well. It needs a util on the host, but for development purposes that would be fine.
A usb-storage like solution would be more flexible. It could have the option to poke around in a jffs2 image while still in u-boot. Very nice when the firmware doesn't boot or let you log in due to a small mistake in the image.
Is that fastboot usb-storage based? From the wiki-page that you referenced I only see that you also need a separate host tool to use it. So that's not much of a difference, is it?
But I guess that jffs2 R/W support in U-Boot is a bridge or two to far :-))
And maybe a bridge I would not invest time anymore as UBI+UBIFS seems to be the weapon of choice against the fallability of NAND devices.
