This device is not in the public CVS, so help on this list may be quite limited. I would expect that you could build a RAM startup version of RedBoot, load that and then work from there. If this works, you should be able to verify the proper operation of the unit & RedBoot before committing any new ROM code. I presume that you have the sources for the RedBoot in question? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
