Yes.

The 'l4re' binary is linked to b0000000, so the pagefault looks ok. It's
your lokal region manager.

That's the space aka task. 0x1d and 0x1a are the threads. Check with
'lp'.

It happened in the hello task because that output can only come from
hello in your setup, and the thread numbers indicate that too.

In 'lp', press enter on the 1d thread, that will give you the tcb view
in which you can see the registers for example.

Indeed that does not work.

Looks good.


The problem is in the kernel-provided code that uses instructions that
are incompatible with rpi's CPU. I'll fix it.
