So look around line 542 in that file. If I understand hermit's problem, knowing the line in unaligned.c won't help much since the problem appears to be in the application MediaPayerServ. My suggestion is to use addr2line on the location where the exception occurred, which is the EPC value 302c3250. The addr2line utility can be used on the unstripped version of the userspace executable to determine the function, file, and line number where the unaligned access was made. > Ralf -- David VL
