The prupose of explicitly pulling in these objects at that place is to
fill in the first flash sector below the sector(s) that is/are
reserved for the environment (we call this setup "embedded
environment").

But then, the Purple board has not been actively maintained for years,
and I guess we could as well remove it.  At least I have not had
access to this board for several yars.

Best regards,
