Hello Ed,

Is the flasher source available? Is this 'flashing some parts of the 
image' functionality available in windows version of the flasher?

I am doing everything related to N770 programming in colinux instance 
with debian on windows XP. But to flash only the kernel I need to boot 
linux on different machine. Is there some possiblility of making the 
linux flasher source available? If it uses libusb there is a chance that 
it may compile in cygwin or mingw without major changes because libusb 
is ported to windows and works.

Or alternatively I would be happy with declaration/parameters for the 
flasher.dll. Looks like the windows wizard is written in Visual Basic 6 
and just calls into flasher.dll for all the work.

Having advanced flashing from windows for developers would be really nice.
