Restoring a corrupted or missing flash image:
=============================================
+Note that U-boot versions up to and including 2009.06 had essentially
+two copies of u-boot in flash; one at the very beginning, which set
+the HRCW, and one at the very end, which was the image that was run.
+As of this point in time, the two have been combined into just one
+at the beginning of flash, which provides both the HRCW, and the image
+that is executed. This frees up the remainder of flash for other uses.
+Use of the u-boot command "fli" will indicate what parts are in use.
Details for storing U-boot to flash using a Wind River ICE can be found
on page 19 of the board manual (request ERG-00328-001). The following
