Have you checked the size of the file? Maybe it wasn't generated right. Or 
maybe the addresses in it are wrong - use sh-elf-objdump -h on the ELF 
format file to check. Did you follow the RedBoot documentation? i.e. either 
http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/ref/hs7729pci.html or 
http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/ref/se77x9.html

Other than that, I'll have to pass on how fast the Hitachi boot loader is 
to load programs - you'd need to take that up with Hitachi.
