Which platform? And _exactly_ which command are you using to load it? The
memory address you are loading to is the most interesting thing. Are you
sure it isn't overwriting RedBoot's RAM area (generally the bottom 64K/128K
or so of RAM)

A .out file is at a guess ELF format (as in a.out?), in which case no that
wouldn't work, but you can use the objcopy utility to convert to a better
format like srec.
