OK. I downloaded precompiled redboot.elf version for IXDP425 from 
here(http://ecos.sourceware.org/ecos/boards/redbootbins/ixdp425/),
and build version from the source(get from CVS). After that i make 
objdump --private-headers for both, precompiled and builded version of
redboot.elf, and detect defference in virtual address offset.

Precompiled(downloaded) version:
LOAD off    0x00008000 vaddr 0x00020000 paddr 0x00020000 align 2**15
         filesz 0x00026f9c memsz 0x0003603c flags rwx

Builded version:
LOAD off    0x00008000 vaddr 0x00080000 paddr 0x00080000 align 2**15
         filesz 0x0002600c memsz 0x00034420 flags rwx

What version is more correctly for IXDP425 board?
