Ok, finally I use the hello.out, which is the elf file (I guess so...)
I successfully load it using gdb (and tsim eval version, I haven't use the 
real target). Eventhoght it can be loaded, but tsim refuse to run it. Here 
is the message:
[agus@localhost sparc-elf-3.2.3]$ sparc-rtems-gdb hello.out

1. Why this tsim said: "Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction"

If I successfully run this 'hello.out' file, the next step I plan to load 
ogg-vorbis decoder into Altera Stratix FPGA board. I don't know yet where I 
will put the image (?) into this board (wether into SRAM or EEPROM or 
something else). This ogg-vorbis decoder will run under eCos (and LEON 
implemented on this board).

Thank you, Andrew
