However, on platforms with restricted RAM, such as the AT91 EBXX
boards, the FIS filesystem is not enabled. It just uses up too much
RAM. In such systems only the write and erase commands are available.
I'm not aware of any systems which have the FIS present in the ROM
configuration but absent in the RAM configuration, but that might be a
good way to save RAM space for downloading new RedBoot images.
