+In order to be able to run nvflash as a normal user, you need to install an udev rule file:
+<code>
+$ sudo -i
+$ cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/60-nvflash.rules <<END
+# nvflash support for Nvidia Tegra systems attached to USB
+SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0955", ATTR{idProduct}=="7820", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"
+END
+</code>
+This last step is optional, but without doing it you will have to run nvflash as root.
