This is interesting option. In first 32k of ROM now resides the WinCE
boot/resuume loader. I do not think wince will survive replacing this
part. Moreover - we do not have suitable bootloader for linux to boot from
CF. I've read something bootldr maybe can boot from CF, but its size is
more than 200kB. Also, if we make a flash to J720, then the main reason
should be to have suspend/resume working. Otherwise it makes not much
sense, as wince is also a kind of semiinteligent linux loader.

BTW: the boards in J720 are pretty fragile, with lot of layers in very
thin PCB.
