Hi folks,

I'm targeting uClinux for an evaluation board with 1Mb SRAM and 8MB
flash. Since 1MB is not enough to run uClinux from I am looking at
executing the kernel directly from Flash.

Can this be done? If so, are there any specific tricks to accomplish
this? Better still a 'HOWTO'?

I've tried to accomplish this using a simple bootloader which
essentially does the following..

         kernel_start = (void_fn)FLASH_START_ADDRESS;
         kernel_start();

Any help or direction appreciated,

Thanks,
Vincent
