Here's a little suggestion: Please use bs=1M instead of bs=1024. 1k blocks will make the dd progress very slow. 1M seems to be a reasonable block size.

That makes a lot of sense, if the destination partition is a multiple of 1MB. The actual image files start with a flash header that shows the actual size of its contents. It is okay to write a little extra as long as you do not write into the next partition area on the mmc, or lose some data in the last partial block (depending on dd default behavior). I just did it the way
yifanlu suggested (1024 is the default minimum block size in linux file systems) and it seemed to work fine, but a larger block size for dd would be a lot faster.
