Working with a embedded platform using a TI part and
Monta Vista Pro embedded linux. A programming utility
was offered for this platform  Flasher.tar.gz. 
Working on a SuSE workstation for this project I
un-tar this host independent tool, and the readme.txt
tells me it was built with Windows .net and to build
it for linux I need to run 'mono Flasher.exe'. Sure
enough the Flasher.cs source file mostly written in
C++ style, hooks a couple of mono library builtins.
After tying 2 versions of mono to get the correct one
I was finally able to build a resulting binary
executable, certainly I had to run 'dos2unix' on the
un-tared source. My head is still swimming with
Windows<->Linux issues around this. With the resulting
executable you can program flash memories with a new
u-boot executable. 

I decided I didn't want to program my u-boot image
with this utility after all. Hope this helps.
