[ECOS] RE: eCos ROM application crashes without Redboot

[Øyvind Harboe <oyvind dot harboe at zylin dot com>]

I haven't gotten any further in tracking down the problem,
but here is the workaround that I have for now.

Create a minimal eCos application that invokes the real 
application:

- ecosconfig new eb40a minimum
- modify ecos.ecc to be a ROM app
- ecosconfig tree
- make

Create main.c as follows and link with above eCos:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	// jump to our real application
	(((void (*)())0x1010000)();
	for (;;);
}

- write this to flash @ 0x1000000.

- create an ecos configuration desired in the first place, e.g.
- ecosconfig new eb40a default
- modify ecos.ecc to be a ROM app
- ecosconfig tree
- modify the .h/.ldi files to have the app start @ 0x1010000.
- link this eCos configuration with your app and write to flash
@ 0x1010000.
