Are you using combined FIS and CFG in one flash block? The flash

yes,the default option is on and if I turn if off the redboot doesn't work!
Define "does not work".
The block size of the flash is 256 Bytes, and I have assigned 8 blocks to
hold the information.
How did you define 8 blocks? Redboot only supports one block for FIS
and one for CONFIG.
Not true, unless this has broken in recent times. I added the ability
for either of these (certainly the FIS directory) to span multiple blocks
when I did the MOAB which uses NAND FLASH with small (256 byte) blocks.
ATMEL has provide tools to program the *.bin to the internal flash but
sometimes I still need debug my drivers alone.
Can the MDK implement that function ?
If I remove the redboot how can I build the eCos ROM application which
directly boots without using a boot loader?
Redboot is an eCos ROM application which does not require a bootloader.
Just keep the CYG_HAL_STARTUP value at its default of ROM and your
application can then be put directly into flash at 0x00100000 and it
will boot.
