[ECOS] Redboot image does not appear to be installed on target

0x10000 to 0x7FFFF
- I make that just under 448KB.

My RedBoot image with networking for the E7T is
108K for the .uu file and about 79K for the actual
image.  This image was generated some time ago,
and would probably be larger if it were built with
up to date code.

The instructions for writing RedBoot to FLASH assume
the final RedBoot image is no more than 64K long.
You need to modify them for a longer image.

Something like:

  flasherase 01820000 20000
  download 10000
  [download the file]
  flashwrite 01820000 10000 20000

should work fine with images up to 128K long.
(It does for me)

Chris
