In the OpenMoko project, we use this program to communicate with our

specially enhanced u-boot boot loader, which implements the DFU device

side.

Using dfu-util and your Neo1973, you can Link* transfer and flash

partitions to NAND Flash, such as

 The Linux kernel

 The root file system partition

 The splash screen partition

 The u-boot environment

Last, but not least: The u-boot bootloader itself.

transfer anything into Neo1973 RAM

this can be used for fast development cycles of low-level code such as

kernels without flashing them

read out the current NAND partitions

this is an easy and efficient way of doing full backups of your phone

dfu-util can be found at http://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/host/dfu-util/

Binary packages will be made available as part of the regular OpenMoko

builds
