How/where do you prepare the FDT and pass it to RTEMS? bsp_fdt_copy<br>
expects the bootloader to pass the HARTID in a0, and the FDT pointer<br>
in a1.<br>

After this instruction, the processor just hangs in some unknown state, and the breakpoints after this don't get hit as the processor is in the unknown state, the register values cant be read.<br>
