RE: [ECOS] OSloader file for ipaq

[Weilong Li <weilongli2000 at yahoo dot com>]

Currently I can use the RAM version of Redboot
for ipaq. However, I got the flash configuration
checksum error or invalid key error.

I don't know what caused the problem. I didn't
press any key when the redboot is booting.
After the redboot boots, I can connect the ipaq
to issue some commands, even there exists the error.

Below is the error message I got:
+FLASH: 0x50000000 - 0x51000000, 64 blocks of
0x00040000 bytes each.
