Linux/TMS320DM8168: Is it possible to program flash from MLO ?

I want to ask if it is possible to program flash from u-boot ?

Do you mean "program flash from MLO"? No, you can not. MLO is really small in size and functionality. It can fit into the internal SRAM and is used only to load u-boot.

In DM816x device you can use u-boot only (without MLO) as it has bigger SRAM (than DM814x for example).

The x-loader (MLO) is a small first stage bootloader derived from the u-boot base code. It is loaded into the internal static RAM by the OMAP ROM code. Due to the small size of the internal static RAM, the x-loader is stripped down to the essentials. The x-loader configures the pin muxing, clocks, DDR, and serial console, so that it can access and load the second stage bootloader (u-boot) into the DDR.
