Hi Gary,
I've not used netflash, but the gumstix can be reflashed from within
linux using flashcp. Basically you would create a new jffs2 image and
copy that to /tmp on the gumstix (or to a cf/sd card) and then use
flashcp to reflash the gumstix. If you search the archives for
flashcp you should find the procedure. Some things to note: to use
flashcp the jffs2 image has to be the same size as the flash size, so
you have to use the options in the buildroot menuconfig to build a
'padded' filesystem image; and the flash layouts for the basic/connex
gumstix is different than for the verdex, so make sure you are using
the appropriate procedure when you do the reflash.
