Hi all,

This doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Has anyone encountered this
before? Why would it try to write to 7e000000 with Reason 2, followed
by 7d000000 with Reason 5? Note that this differs from my first post
where it tries to write to fffff000.

What does the numbers represent for the various reasons? Is the
interrupt request triggered due to the series of illegal writes?

Thanks and have a good weekend.

-Alex
