Sure, it may well have been me although I don't remember. But I want to
point people at the documentation simply because they _should_ be looking
at the documentation first anyway! Instructions without context will only
get people as far as their next problem.

The answer from the command line by the way is almost certainly just:

ecosconfig new edb7xxx redboot
ecosconfig import ${ECOS_REPOSITORY}/hal/arm/edb7xxx/current/misc/FLIBBLE
ecosconfig tree
make

where FLIBBLE is one of edb7211_redboot.ecm, edb7211_redboot_ROM.ecm,
edb7212_redboot.ecm or edb7212_redboot_ROM.ecm

But still read the documentation first. That's why it's there!
