You should include the full output of the abort.

What we really need to see is the address that the abort is complaining about.

Generally, it's one of the device registers not being mapped in
properly (either for your timer or your UART).

If you let the code continue to run, it should write the exception
message into the log buffer, which you can find in __log_buf
