The command sequence depends on the version of OpenOCD you are using, if
you are using a fairly recent version, the command sequence should be
something like this:
#halt target
monitor halt
#identify flash type on target 0
monitor flash probe 0
#erase sectors 0 thru 26, target 0
monitor flash erase_sector 0 0 26
#upload lpc2387.elf image, no offset, format:elf.
monitor flash write_image lpc2387.elf 0 elf

this is a command sequence for the lpc2387...

Hope this helps.
