Re: Floating point error on a MPC8280 based board

[annamaya <annamaya@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for the reply Dan. I see it clearly now. I
think I need to visit my optometrist again. The pc is
set to 0xff000104 but the flash is mapped at
0xfff00000 and the default vector is going to be
0xfff00100. I need to look at the reset code just as
you suggested. I was stumped by the "floating point"
error since that was not something I expected on a bad
instruction fetch.
