Thanks for reply. What is the typical name of start-up script? Is it the .cfg file? The contents appear below. It's nothing extraordinary and is already being done within initialization code although not in consecutive instructions as appears below.

Does the PIT0 timer (the one I'm using for my system clock tick) have any unusual operation that is not touched upon in the MCF5213 Ref Manual that precludes it from working without emulator under certain circumstances? I've set PMR Modulus register with a value of 0x7d0 (64 MHz clock) to count 1000 Hz. PCSR is set to 0x040f. I'm grasping at straws since we can't determine the cause of inoperability. If you hit the RSTI line then things operate correctly but POR yields incorrect operation.
