I know that the processor does not allow setting up a base address for
the
exception vectors. In this situation, it would never be able to handle
TLB or system call exceptions.  

Just don't know if this is feasible so scrambling for any other docs. I
have the instruction reference and development manual.

Seems to be a bad requirement to not have RAM at address 0x0. Would have
to change that. Rest should just fall in place by booting low. This
would allow exception handling from flash as well as RAM.

Best Regards,
