I needed to flash updates to barebox from userspace myself and struggled 
with a solution for a bit.

I'm doing three things:

  1) get the correct /dev-device for barebox
  2) use `flash_erase` on that device
  3) use `nandwrite` to write the barebox_*.img onto the device

This works for me, and there's probably some documentation for this 
around, but i do not recall where i found it anymore.

good luck
Andreas
