Re: Redboot load command is crippled

[John Clark <clarkjc at runbox dot com>]

Hello Andrew,

Your patch matches what I have already done to get it to work for me.  
Without that change, it would never write anything to memory through the 
addr pointer if the address was outside of the memory range known to 
Redboot on the PC platform (beyond the first 640K).

My only concern now is that the "Allow the load-command write into 
Flash" (CYGBLD_REDBOOT_LOAD_INTO_FLASH) option requires that "Validate 
RAM addresses during load" (CYGSEM_REDBOOT_VALIDATE_USER_RAM_LOADS) 
option be enabled as well.  Otherwise, the code assuming that an invalid 
RAM address is a flash address just won't work.
