Redboot for MicroWindows applications

If you want to run a eCos microwindows application and encounter following messages:

No Video BIOS information at location 0x000A0000
Please use a suitably configured RedBoot for bootstrap


That means you may need a redboot with some additional configuration.

Go to "i386 PC Motherboard Support"->"Switch the display to an alternative video mode", check and key in available VESA video mode value, eg. 0x100.

You may need to check "i386 PC Target"->"Load into higher memory", to run some big program.

After you built out the redboot.elf, you should use COM to talk to it.(384008N1)

[Note] VESA 2.0 support only??
