Hi,
How to quickly find ONE primitive polynomial in GF(2^m) with "m" up to 2048 ?
I have searched for a while but failed to find such a function.

Thanks
Gepo

Supposed you mean: GF(2^m) with 2^m<= 2048 (and not m<=2048)
you can define in Singular theses Galois fields and then display the minimal polynomial.

Code:
ring r2048 = (2^11,a),x,dp;
minpoly;


It is unlikly that an explicit function for the minpolys exist. But on
Frank Luebeck's website you find lists of primitive polynomials and
two methods how to compute the Conway polynomials:
