LEGO is using a slightly older version of IAR Embedded Workbench. Maybe that
explains it. Or maybe its a 1.03 vs 1.04 source code difference.

I have been told that the following is the standard operating procedure for
generating the complete firmware image:
1. Compile with IAR Embedded Workbench to .a79 binary file.
2. Reset NXT to SAMBA mode
3. Run ATMEL SAMBA utility and erase entire flash memory
4. Download the .a79 firmware file
5. Start the firmware (Go 0x100000)
6. Download desired files to the NXT using LMS NXT software (BricxCC or NeXTTool
should work as well)
7. Reset NXT to SAMBA mode
8. Run ATMEL SAMBA utility again
9. Download firmware image again (but do not start it)
10. Upload the entire flash memory to a file (Upload 0x40000 bytes)
The resulting file should be a new firmware image like the ones that LEGO
provides.
