How do I run applications from flash?

- Subject: [ECOS] How do I run applications from flash?
I'm having trouble finding any documentation on how to
configure my build environment to build applications that
run from flash.
Where should I look?
A knudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
All the samples I find seem to assume that Redboot is
written to flash, and then the application is loaded
into ram before it is executed. (Either via a terminal
program or GDB).
I'm using EB40a, which has 2MB flash and 256k ram, hence
I can't run the entire appliation from RAM.
I'm guessing its going to be along the lines of:
ecosconfig new eb40a default
ecosconfig import <flashapp.ecm>
ecosconfig tree
make
I've started to modify the repository to add a "flashapp.ecm",
but it seems odd that such a configuration exists for redboot_ROM.ecm,
but not for the application running from flash.
