Yes, ROM is at address 0. Address 0 contains the initial stack
pointer. So you read address 0, dereference it, and then do your
damage.

I'm not sure what you mean. When you upload your firmware to the
MCU, it writes the initial stack pointer to address 0x00 and the
address of the

Ok, but are these devices with 0 being a valid address?
It seems weird to me that any sane modern CPU design that can
access megabytes of memory would have 0 be a valid address.
Yes, 0 is a valid address and typically points

Because it's calling a @system function, rt_finalize. This

That's an out-of-bounds access, and the compiler does not catch
