Shhhhhh... don't tell anyone, but if you get 'libflash.c'
ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/diag/libflash.c
and compile vortex-diag with
'... -DLIBFLASH libflash.c'
the following options are available:
-B
-L <filename>
-S <filename>
-B shows the contents of the flash
-L LOADFILE loads (writes) the flash with the contents of FILENAME
-S SAVEFILE saves the flash into FILENAME
Send a report if you use this.
It works for me, but I haven't had others test it, so consider it "not
released". Remember that it's doing something that cannot be reset with a
power cycle (though it's less dangerous than writing the EEPROM).
