Watch out with using the LART configuration. The LART has a bit
unusual memory layout in that it has holes in its memory banks (the
LART doesn't use A23 in bank 0 and 1). If your architecture has a
"normal" memory layout, you can get *very* strange results. If your
architecture has at least 4MB in each bank, you'd better use the
Brutus setup.

The SA1110 Flash burner doesn't work on SA1100 boards because the
JTAG ID code is different. Have a look at the LART site: since this
afternoon we have a page with hard- and software to burn the LART
flash (LART is an SA1100 board):
