I wanted to get more details before posting. The first thing I noticed is that
either rtems_clock_set() or rtems_clock_get() isn't working properly (and isn't
returning an error), so e.g. Task_1_through_3() in sp01 exits immediately
because it sees that more than 35 seconds has gone by and exits. The fact that
exit() now calls bsp_reset() had me confused for a while, I thought things were
really in bad shape until I realized that (and I checked, that detail is in the
release notes). I recompiled without optimization last night so that this AM I
can figure out more.

I'm using the internal flash so it's 2M:
/*
* Debug RAM is the top 4MB of external RAM and is swapped with the
* FLASH for development.
*/
MEMORY {
ROM : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 2M
RAM : ORIGIN = 0x40000000, LENGTH = 64K
RAM_EXT : ORIGIN = 0x21000000, LENGTH = 4M
DEBUG_RAM : ORIGIN = 0x21400000, LENGTH = 4M
NOCACHE : ORIGIN = 0x0, LENGTH = 0
}
Since I'm running out of RAM at this point I think I could easily increase it
to 4M for testing since I use that DEBUG_RAM section to image the flash, I need
to check the MPC555X memory map but I think I could lie and just set the ROM
size to 4M and then download into RAM and set up the TLB.
There is 8M external FLASH on the Phytec but I haven't been using that. My
normal in-the-field use is 2M flash 4M SRAM, my programs have been running
around 1.1M FLASH so it has been OK.
