I modified the target.ld to change rom references to ram, [0xfff0000 -> 0x00007050] as redboot message is as [RAM: 0x00001000-0x02000000, 0x00007050-0x01fff000 available] and redboot loads the .srec file but my application does not run (*probably* its just the wrong printf i.e. target.ld is producing a copy of the printf whose state is different from the one redboot is using).

Try generating a whole new build tree just for this.  Trying to adjust
one from ROM to RAM mode is error-prone.
