FLASH programming through JTAG?

Is there any software available which will create a SVF file or similar to program a FLASH through JTAG using the tap controller to control the pins connected to the FLASH?

Thank you for your reply. It will not be fast. But of course it's probably a lot faster to load a PFL first and then load some compressed content (which the SOF/SREC file is, compared to the FLASH programming command sequence) to the PFL and/or run the FLASH interface at a higher speed.

I was thinking about the simplicity of having just the SOF/SREC, BSDL file, and a list of the pins connected to the FLASH.
