Hi Gerald.
I'm using the IBM evaluation board for the PPC 405EP.
I debug the code in the SRAM connected to the PerCS0 chip select (it can be 
exchanged with the boot Flash). The first instructions are:
        b _start
        ...
_start:
        addi     r4,r0,0x0000
         mtspr   sgr,r4
         mtspr   dcwr,r4
         mtesr   r4                      /* clear Exception Syndrome Reg */
         mttcr   r4                      /* clear Timer Control Reg */
         mtxer   r4                      /* clear Fixed-Point Exception Reg */
         mtevpr  r4                      /* clear Exception Vector Prefix 
Reg */
         addi    r4,r0,0x1000            /* set ME bit (Machine Exceptions) */
         oris    r4,r4,0x0002            /* set CE bit (Critical Exceptions) */
         mtmsr   r4                      /* change MSR */
         addi    r4,r0,(0xFFFF-0x10000)          /* set r4 to 0xFFFFFFFF 
(status in the */
        ...

When I execute step-by-step this code, the instruction mtmsr makes the CPU 
to jump to 0x700.
I suspect it is due to the uncorrect script I use for the Abatron BDI2000. 
For convenience I copied it at the bottom of the message. I derived it from 
the example shipped with the BDI that is written for the 405GP board 
(Walnut). In order to simulate the state of the hardware just after a 
reset, I removed a lot of initializations.
If I burn the code into Flash, that instruction works (but it crashes 
somewhere after).
