[Please write a brief description of the contribution]
My contribution consists of a change to Redboot, which enables eCos
applications to perfom failsafe updates of firmware images with regard
to power loss during the update process. This is implemented by creating
a second, redundant version of the FIS table on the flash. Additionally
there will be an implementation of a FIS-filesystem for use by eCos
applications. This is not finished yet. I have discussed this with
Andrew Lunn on the ecos-devel mailing list.
