When preparing your netboot image, you have to concatenate tini_400.tbin
and slush_400.tbin (or your application) before running it through the
netboot converter.
Netboot will erase/program bank 47 only if bank 47 has to be
reprogrammed. Since the slush_400.tbin does not have any information for
the first 256 bytes (the commit area), bank 47 will only be reprogrammed
if the application itself has changed, the commit area is ignored.
