Hello,
I run a baremetal program on one core of the Cortex A9. The First Stage Bootloader (FSBL, Pre-Loader) and the Second Stage Bootloader (SSBL) perform perfectly. When the baremetal application (axf-file) is started in the debugger it executes without a problem. However when the baremetal application (bin-file) is exectued directly on the machine, the baremetal application cannot be started and the follwing error is thrown:
data abort
MAYBE you should read doc/README.arm-unligned-accesses
However, when the MMU is deactivated, the application (bin-file and axf-file) execute perfectly.
This leads me to the follwing questions:
Why can the program be started in the Debugger, and at the same time cause a data abort, when the binary is executed on the machine?
Why could the MMU cause a data abort, when the bin-file is started on the machine?
I would be grateful for any hints and tips. Many thanks in advance.
