Let me guess: $T00(something)

Just exactly how are you building your application? Do you mean one based 
on the newlib C library and with an appropriately configured toolchain? 
It's probable then that you have to build the application to know it will 
be using RedBoot. This support hasn't been added universally, but if it 
exists, it's normally included by adding --specs=redboot.specs on your 
link line. It should probably work for the 7312.

Of course you could just use eCos ;-).

RedBoot should report it when you've downloaded it.
