Hi,
the reasons for checkstop state are listed in the reference manual for e200z0 core:
https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/e200z0RM.pdf
So, the first step is to keep MSR[ME] enabled and IVOR1 machine check exception should be handled. If you don't have handler for IVOR1 yet, good start is to put just endless loop there, so you can check the reason for this exception, at least.
Regards,
Lukas
