How to trace the root cause of HardFault Cortex M3 with .lst file?

Dear All,

Now I'm trying to trace the root cause of HardFault Cortex M3 with .lst and tarmac0.log files.

Currently problem is that I'm not sure how to trace the root cause when I come across HardFault.

In especially, I'm wonder that does disassembly code help us to trace the root cause?

 UartPutc((char) DBG_ESCAPE); //send ESCAPE code
     2da:       201b            movs    r0, #27
     2dc:       f000 f8aa       bl      434 <UartPutc>
  UartPutc((char) DBG_CONNECT_ENABLE); //send debug test enable command
     2e0:       2011            movs    r0, #17
     2e2:       f000 f8a7       bl      434 <UartPutc>
  puts("\nEnabling debug tester...\n");
     2e6:       4810            ldr     r0, [pc, #64]   ; (328 <EnableDebugTester+0x60>)
     2e8:       f000 fa8e       bl      808 <puts>
  // If debug tester is not present,
  if((CMSDK_GPIO0->DATA & DEBUG_ERROR) != 0)
     2ec:       6823            ldr     r3, [r4, #0]
     2ee:       045b            lsls    r3, r3, #17

    {

  // If debug tester is not present,
  if((CMSDK_GPIO0->DATA & DEBUG_ERROR) != 0)
    {
      puts("DBGERROR bit (debug error) asserted.\n");
     2fe:       480c            ldr     r0, [pc, #48]   ; (330 <EnableDebugTester+0x68>)

As you can see the above code, I come across "Unexpected Hard Fault", when DEBUGTESTERDATA[i] = 0; run after.

Would you help me what am I supposed to do to resolve this problem?
