This device is not in the public CVS, so help on this list
may be quite limited.

I would expect that you could build a RAM startup version
of RedBoot, load that and then work from there.  If this
works, you should be able to verify the proper operation
of the unit & RedBoot before committing any new ROM code.

I presume that you have the sources for the RedBoot in question?
