The debug log shows that the global data is still located in the SRAM after relocation. Printing all variables involved in the panic condition shows, that the stack pointer also overflowed, so there appear to be two separate issues. if (top > (void *)gd || top > (void *)&stack_ptr) { including top, sp and sys_init_sp_addr for completeness: <debug_uart> FDT 8789d3a0 gd 0091de40 top 878a7aa8 sp 878543e7 sys_init_sp_addr 0091ff20 FDT overlap resetting ... System reset not supported on this platform ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ### Note: I don't use CUSTOM_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR so the default is used. GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE is 0xe0 #define SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR (CFG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + CFG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE) #define CFG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR IRAM_BASE_ADDR #define CFG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE IRAM_SIZE Do you have any idea how to address these two problems?
