Thanks for your advice : I was not compiling in big endian. But the 
problem still remains : I suppose that my coyote or my redboot 
(preinstalled redboot 1.92) is different than yours.

See my redboot log :
    RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment [ROM]
    Red Hat certified release, version 1.92 - built 13:56:07, Oct 20 2003
    Platform: ADI Coyote (XScale)
    IDE/Parallel Port CPLD Version: 1.0
    Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, Red Hat, Inc.
    RAM: 0x00000000-0x04000000, 0x0001f960-0x03fd1000 available

I have 64 MBytes of RAM on my coyote, mapped at 0x0, and you have 
32MBytes of RAM mapped at 256MB (0x10000000) : we must have a different 
redboot (did you tweak your redboot ?), or a different board release 
(mine is "COYOTE 4"), or both ;-)

 From the ADI Hardware Manual :
"The lowest 256 Mbyte of address space is configurable, based on the 
value of a configuration register
located in the expansion-bus controller. When the configuration register 
is set to logic 1, the expansion bus
occupies the lowest 256 Mbyte of address space. When the configuration 
register is set to logic 0, the
SDRAM occupies the lowest 256 Mbyte of address."

It seems that this register has a different value on my board (1) than 
on your board (0).

Cheers,
Franck.
