Is this a public board? If so, it would be good if you could consider
contributing back. Mail ecos-maintainers@redhat.com to discuss further if
so!

That implies both PC and SP are 0x0. Something's wrong there.

Also are sure your reprogramming of the board worked?

But my guess is that your RedBoot is hitting an exception of some sort
(e.g. by accessing an illegal memory address or whatever) on startup, which
causes it to enter the stub, as all exceptions do.
