Which target? Search for OpenOCD which supports flash-programming for
various targets/families. If your target is supported: Use objcopy to
extract the machine-code from the elf-file into a "binary"-format file
(see the GNU binutils documentation). Transfer the content of the
binary-file with OpenOCD and the "Wiggler" to the target. Maybe useful:

my target is str711. it seems that OpenOCD supports it. Unfortunately
I've overlooked it several times because everyone refers to this program
just as "debugger", and rarely someone notes that it has programming
ability, while I don't need a debugger.

thank you. Now I am in the middle of not-so-simple quest trying to
figure out what to write in configs and scripts of OpenOCD to make it
program my target properly..
