  6. Close JP5 to enable NAND Flash memory access.
  7. Run the demo_linux_nandflash.sh file by using the following command:
    sudo sh demo_linux_nandflash.sh
  8. This script runs SAM-BA 3 and the associated QML sam-ba script (demo_linux_nandflash_usb.qml) with proper parameters.
  9. At the end of the flashing process, the following message is displayed:
    -I- === Done. ===
Connection closed.
    Note: The process will take a few minutes to finish.
