And, just to add my 2 cents, you should look at your debugger 
configuration.  Your debugger most likely is writing to registers to set 
your processor up so it can load and run programs.  This includes 
writing to the BR and OR registers.  Look at what it is doing for 
initialization, compare that to what you are doing, read the processor 
manual, and understand it all.  That is the path to enlightenment (or at 
least blinkin' LEDs).
