eCos FLASH routines are already magically in RAM.
Also the AT91SAM7 devices have a flash controller which handles most
of the details and does most of the work for you. It can halt the CPU
while writing to FLASH if it needs to be halted because it tries to
make an access while the write operation is active.
As usual, the datasheet and the source code is the definitive source
of information.
