If it doesn't support Thumb, you get an instruction fault. "mov lr,pc" is supported on all ARMs, but (guessing from what you're getting) maybe it can fault depending on the value in "lr"? "bx" is not available on all ARMs, and will fault when you don't have it. That's why it's necessary to build everything with the right GCC options. I wouldn't be surprised if the Codesourcery tools (especially pre-built libs) are targetting later ARM chips only, since people using later ARM chips are probably paying Codesourcery for the work. -- Jamie
