After a lot of pain, it work !!! Tank you for help Andrew !! That is
the second time you help me on my eCos project.  If you like I will
pay you a beer, when I will come back to Switzerland (I am now in
Sweden).

If I recompile redboot with my new target, will I have network support
in it ? because downloading code trough the serial is very slow.
