Hello again Tom,
I regret to saythat the solution you had pointed did not work.

Looking at the guts of boot.axf file (which I guess is the boot loader) 
the "erase" option does not appear to be supported

However, I found a similar option called "erase_flash"  inside the 
sprite.axf  file but itdoes not work either(at least for me)


any more ideas ?
