Subject: [Avila] Kerry,

Thanks for the update, however just to avoid any frustration on any users 
part, this utility does have limitations that do apply to the avila 
platform. An excerpt from the website states....

<quote>
Limitations:
If RedBoot configuration partition is located in the Flash memory, then the 
access is read-only. Full read-write access is available when the 
configuration is stored in I2C EEPROM memories (driver ee24.c above), or 
other MTD devices that do not require user-level locking and unlocking.
</qoute>

Since in most cases the redboot config is in flash on the avila platform 
this utility only has read-only access.

Thanks,
Chris Lang
