Before changing the software, i have another question. Is the hardware
capable of booting from a different address?

Normally at boot time the flash is mapped to address 0. Early on in
the boot sequence this mapping is changed to that there is RAM at
address 0. Can you control the hardware which does this mapping so
that it maps a different flash device to 0 at boot time? Is there a
jumper on the board?
