I believe the avila boards have a redboot in rom mode which will not 
over write itself.  You will need to boot to linux (or something else) 
and then overwrite redboot.  We changed redboot to make the config 
partitions come up the way linux wants.  You could also jtag it but jtag 
takes a very long time, even for just redboot.
