Looks like my MTD2,and MTD3 partitions are write protected. The OS is
booting from SD card on a ARM Cortex A 9 processor.

Even I tried alternate:
root at Xilinx-ZC702-2013_3:/mnt/flash# flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd2
flash_eraseall has been replaced by `flash_erase <mtddev> 0 0`; please use
it
flash_erase: error!: /dev/mtd2
error 13 (Permission denied)
