Once linux starts, RedBoot is out of the picture. If userland apps are
failing when using RedBoot, but not Cygmon, then its some hw init
difference. Both cygmon and RedBoot based the startup hw init on
the same sample code. The init code in RedBoot further evolved to
fix SDRAM drive strength settings and to turn on ECC error reporting.
Other than that, I can't think why it make any difference to linux.
