As you say it seems likely. Try comparing the docs to look for any 
differences between the those two parts - there may be none.

If you have a way to load into RAM then you don't need to program anything 
into flash unless you want to. Just ensure CYGSEM_HAL_USE_ROM_MONITOR is 
disabled. You may want to download into flash if you want to use the 
features of RedBoot (which is preferable to a GDB stub if RedBoot support 
exists) such as GDB debugging.
