Build RedBoot using ecosconfig and add in only the funtions
you want. I always start like this:
% ecosconfig new <target> redboot
% ecosconfig tree
% make
This will build a RAM version, which on new hardware implies
that you have some way to get it into RAM, such as a JTAG
debug unit, etc.
Then to add new functionality, just add the appropriate
package selections.
% ecosconfig add flash
% ecosconfig tree
% make
After this command, all FLASH related functions will be
enabled.
% ecosconfig add eth_drivers
% ecosconfig tree
This sequence adds networking.
etc.
