[U-Boot] Strange arm9 behaviour reading long(s) not aligned to 4 bytes boundary

Hi,

I have something like this on a 32 bit little endian arm9 board (SAM9 L9260):

char buffer[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };

long A = * ( (long*) buffer ); long B = * ( (long*) (buffer + 2) );

printf("A: %08x B: %08x", A, B);

I would expect that A = 0x03020100 and B = 0x05040302 instead I get the right value for A but B is 0x01000302 or something like this but anyway not what I expect. Is there something wrong on the board? It seems that only 4 bytes aligned long are read correctly.

Thank you in advance, Antonio.
