I had a thought about top/bottom issue, but, you told what you have a
standard target... I think, it will be it. Well, you should fix a parts
description according datasheet.

I have yet another mad idea: try to use _positive_ number for the
CYGNUM_REDBOOT_FLASH_CONFIG_BLOCK option, i.e.  try to swap flash config
holder:

# Which block of flash to use
# Which block of flash should hold the configuration 
# information. Positive numbers are absolute block numbers. 
# Negative block numbers count backwards from the last block.
# eg 2 means block 2, -2 means the last but one block.
#
cdl_option CYGNUM_REDBOOT_FLASH_CONFIG_BLOCK {
...

I wonder what the values: KEY1, KEY2, CRC you will get? It seems this
won't be a right way to fix a problem, but who knows.
