Thanks for your help, i didn't see this option. I have configured the flash io
block driver but the problem still remains. Look at this piece of my
configuration file:

cdl_component CYGDAT_IO_FLASH_BLOCK_DEVICE_NAME_1 {
    # Flavor: data
    user_value "\"/dev/flash1\""
    # value_source user
    # Default value: "\"/dev/flash1\""
};

cdl_option CYGNUM_IO_FLASH_BLOCK_OFFSET_1 {
    # Flavor: data
    user_value 0x50300000
    # value_source user
    # Default value: 0x00100000
};

cdl_option CYGNUM_IO_FLASH_BLOCK_LENGTH_1 {
    # Flavor: data
    user_value 0x00080000
    # value_source user
    # Default value: 0x00100000
};

It seems to be ok. I recompiled the libraries and the tests, but both fileio and
romfileio look at the beginning of the flash memory:

  RedBoot> go
  arenasize 66804088, freeblocks 1, totalallocated 528, totalfree 66803540,
maxfree 66803540
  <5>jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x00000000:
0x1977 instead
  ...

I don't understand why the configuration doesn't affect the test program (if
this is the case).
Thanks in advance,
