Hi,
I am using development board and daughter board for MPC5777C together with S32 and default compiler/linker (powerpc-eabivle-4_9). It all worked great until today when I inserted the flash driver code (example driver code). For some reason the MCU is jumping to start address in RAM when executing a simple switch()-case c statement !?
I have never seen anything like this before and I am totally mesmerized about how this can even happen.
I base everything I did so far on the example that I could find in your example list (interrupts are disabled):
Example MPC5777C Single ELF multi-core Pin Toggling - S32DS Power v1.2
Please see below picture:
The lockedBlockSelection is here set to C55_BLOCK_LOW.
When we execute the instruction at 0x00811cba (se_bctr) we jump to RAM address 0x40000000 (r7 will hold this value at that point). If I remove the switch case and replace it with something else everything works.
registers are as below in the position shown in picture:

Anyone know power pc architecture better than me that could explain how this can happen? Any hints?
