Is there any other utility in OpenBMC Linux for writing= a file to a specified address in flash memory?

1. pflash defaults to operate on the PNOR chip. If you want to flash the BM= C
=C2=A0 =C2=A0chip, you need "-b" argument.
2.To program a flash area, you need to erase before writing, so you need &q= uot;-e"
=C2=A0 =C2=A0argument.

Putting together, you command should look like:
pflash -b -e -a 0x20100000 -f -p fitImage.bin
