Yes, as far as I know yet, Fabrice Gautier's patches should provide RedBoot
support for x86.
I saw an older posting of you, dating from January, 5th, where you (Jesper)
announced to add virtual vector support to x86 target.
Jifl was working on including the Gautier patches into the official eCos
cvs tree. What is the status of that work?

Thanks for this hint. I wasnt aware that the porting documents describe how
this redboot stuff works. I will read through this and than I will
reconsider if it is "obscure" or not :-)
