Ok, so i'll try on CS7 as soon as possible to compare with CS4 and watch if
I've got the same input/output error

 So I have several question about all of this.

So writing to 0x703FF FFFF will put the address bus to 0x003F FFFF (if we
don't care about multiplexing with the GPIO)?

Thanks for your help
