Strange. Since the abort prefetch happens here (it happens only beacuse of the 
ABORT signal asserted) it means that <reset_platform> is no longer in valid 
memory that can be reached by cpu. What kind of memory mapping do You have? 
Take a look at the linker xxx.ldi script in the platform/hal directory if 
they if it's correct for  Your memory layout.
