(IXP425 board. INTEL strata flash.) RedBoot> fis list Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length Entry point RedBoot 0x50000000 0x50000000 0x00040000 0x00000000 RedBoot config 0x50FC0000 0x50FC0000 0x00001000 0x00000000 FIS directory 0x50FE0000 0x50FE0000 0x00020000 0x00000000 this is understandable. but when i tried a fis free i get a NULL response. though there is nearly a 15.5Mb of space unallotted between the first and second image(RedBoot and RedBoot config). Now if i create a JFFS2 image in this space(between 0x50040000 and 0x50FC0000),will i be oversteeping any boundaries? i am unable to try it out because i can't afford to erase my redboot even accidentally. thanks ramakrishnan
