If you have to get RedBoot to fit into 64K then you may need to 
configure it to trim some functionality.  There are lots of options
in there, each providing you with a lot of control over what ends
up in the image, and ultimately the size of the image.

First of all, a board using ARM964 is not the "pid".  The target used
(like "pid") describes your hardware.  Such a description would include
the fact that this is an ARM9 core.  Try reading the porting 
documentation to see how these things relate.

RedBoot uses only the HAL serial routines, not the serial driver.

Only if there is one out there for your *platform*
