Hi, 

I would to use second flash for zImage, ramdisk and linux jffs2.
So, if I understood correctly, I want to use FIS on second device. 

In this scenario, why redboot don't make access to boot flash ?
Where the Redboot image are stored ?
How can update Redboot ?
There is any board that implement this scenario?
