 So a sp of >0x814d299c must be in the range of the Init stack area.

Yes it is, Init() stack area is 0x814d1a70 -> 0x814d2a74 (4100 bytes). So
it looks like the stack pointer is not getting adjusted correctly when task
switching into a new thread ? as the rtems_idle task is using the Init()
stack pointer.

No matches.
