nvflash is not publically available, I am not sure what kind of
paperwork you need to get access to it.

One thing that would be quicker to try is to download the l4t release
from nvidia's site and use the nvflash binary from there.

Hi ,

> from nvidia's site and use the nvflash binary from there.

Thanks Olof. I do have access to private repositories. Emerge fails
with permission access failed for
/var/lib/portage/distfiles/cros-binary/, but i did scp
nvflash-0.0.4.tbz2 locally and able to flash u-boot (
/build/tegra2_seaboard/u-boot/u-boot-legacy.bin) . but flashing
fails with following errors :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U-Boot 2010.09-00000-ga946202 (Jul 13 2011 - 13:44:28)

Any pointers on this front ?

What is your hardware ?
Is there a SPI flash chip soldered on the board ?

Thanks Vincent .

I have Tegra T25 seaboard. I don't have h/w spec to check SPI flash
available on my board. Earlier u-boot comes up from NAND . I am
facing issue : http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=17275
on my h/w as well. So, trying to update u-boot on my tegra2 seaboard
and struck with this issue. Is there a way to get my u-boot images
built to support NAND ?

Thanks All. resolved the issue. All jumper settings : magic jumper at
the back of the display board named GPIO control has to be enabled +
boot select made to SPI and u-boot built from TOT and flashed to get
my latest CROS running on my t25 board.
