Not sure about the reason, I had to test (i.e., change attributes) every
entry in
 the table and finally found that this section causes the problem. I could
not use
other debugging methods because the BSP is new and lacks a driver to
remotely
debug, and I could not also use printf as it's a startup code. Maybe this
section
overlaps other section (as its minimum size is 1 MB and it's aligned)
which is written later (e.g., vector table area). ticker.exe only works
with this
modification.
