I have a 7260 and am putting the kernel from memory into flash. 

It works if I follow the example on the web that uses this from Redboot:

fis create -b (ram addr0x02.... ) -l (size) <image name>

However the fis create command has other options that let you tell it WHERE to 
put the image in flash "-f 0x6......". 

However, that doesn't seem to work, it ends up changing the mem address to a 
wrong address. 

Just curios why you don't need to tell it WHERE to put the image in flash and 
yet it works?

Also for -l, size, should you put the actual size that you obtain from when you 
download the kernel to RAM first? And it tells you the start and end address 
that it fit the kernel into in RAM (subtract these). Or just stick with the 
default larger size of the original kerenl in FLASH? 

I guess it doesn't hurt to copy extra junk into flash because your code just 
will not reach it anyways... 

 
Also, what is the different with using fis create then vs. using fis write? 
Couldn't you just write the kernel from ram to flash using fis write, or does 
create make the entry in the fis table AND copy... while write just writes?
