[Please write a brief description of the contribution]

My contribution consists of a change to Redboot, which enables eCos 
applications to perfom failsafe updates of firmware images with regard 
to power loss during the update process. This is implemented by creating 
a second, redundant version of the FIS table on the flash. Additionally 
there will be an implementation of a FIS-filesystem for use by eCos 
applications. This is not finished yet. I have discussed this with 
Andrew Lunn on the ecos-devel mailing list.
