True. What we would need to make it simple :
 - have arithmetic expressions in hush
 - have a "dd" command with options skip,bs,count
   => that is actually a requirement to flash (as cp uses blocks of 4096, while
   flash with oob wants block of writesize+oobsize which are seldom multiples of
   512).

I was thinking that a "dd" command would be handy. Would you accept it in
barebox ?

Cheers.
