Not going to get very far with version 400- when doing 'flash probe 0' on my 
PXA270 target the openocd daemon segfaults.  Just doing a 'flash info 0' 
causes the same problem.  Last known working (for me anyway) version was 291, 
but that was for pxa255.  Flash probe fails on this target, yet mdw/mww seem 
to work fine.
