For a different bootloader be sure to disable CYGSEM_HAL_USE_ROM_MONITOR 
in your eCos RAM build configuration.

That tells eCos where RAM is. That doesn't mean it will start putting code 
there, just that RAM exists.

That's where the program must be loaded. From the below eCos is loading to 
0x40000.

No A flag so not loaded. So ignore the fact it say addr 0x20.

Starts loading here.

You don't say what S1[1] is in this context.
