Seems odd certainly. I can't imagine a situation where it would mostly but
not completely work, in that way. If you had a support contract I could
look more closely by trying it myself, but otherwise I don't have the time,
sorry.
Which situation are you talking about: is it built for "ROM" startup type
and is running direct from Flash? Or is it built for RAM startup, and being
loaded into RAM from flash using "fis load"?
