Hi,
does anybody know if a flash writing tool for Linux is available ?
I want to update a flash image from a running Linux. The Linux is
running from a ramdisk, so the flash can be erased and rewritten.
I think what I need are two thing: A device driver for accessing the
flash and a command line tool for erasing and writing to the flash.

Perhaps you can take a look at mtd and use that to manage your flash.
With mtd you can partition your flash to different devices and erase them
selectively.
Once you have your flash partitioned you can simply cat a file to /dev/mtd#
to copy new content to the flash.

What is mtd ? Never heard of before !

That sounds nice and seems to be same like the stuff Wolfgang offered in
his 2.4.3-preX patch.
