Hi Caglar,

Thanks for the information

But in our custom board we have the USB port configured for device mode only 
with miniAB connector mounted. So I cannot configure as HOST

One more limitation is I do not have Ethernet port :-(

I was just thinking is there any small tool which can run on PC and download 
the kernel/FS to Flash?

Thanks and Regards,
Nitin Joshi

- From Linux:

You can use a USB flash if you have NFS setup.

1) Select USB host mode(Kernel config, jumper, etc)
2) Boot from NFS
3) mount your usb flash(device node may need a change):

     mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt
4) update kernel and ramdisk using jffs2 utils or like.

You can also do these using USB gadgets, but I don't know the exact
procedure. I hope I'm not getting your question wrong.

Regards,
Caglar
