uClinux and external memory

Hi, I am following AN2119 to install uClinux on str710 board. However I am not using the evaluation board, but my own board. Fortunately, it also has an external flash and SRAM on EMI, on same position/address the evaluation board has. I have the following questions:

1) My board has no option to enable the external flash memory boot. May I write uClinux image to external flash, boot from internal memory and then ''jump'' to external? How?

2) AN2119 is based on a old kernel and uclinux version. Is there a new patch to use a newer one? I haven been able to find it.

Best regards in advance.
