STM32F303: Loading CRC16-CCITT table at memory location 0x20000000 results in corrupted element 204

[Jesper1]

When loading a table (for CRC16-CCITT) in the RAM on the STM32F303, element 204 (value: 0x18c0) is corrupted. The value on load is 0x18c1.

To test, I hooked up the openocd debugger, attached a breakpoint to the return statement and read out the content of CRC16_CCITT_TABLE.

Note that this problem happens on at least two chips I tested. Changing the table to other values, like all zeros, or all 0xFF00, does not exhit the bug. Setting element 205 to 0xFF00 also results in the bug not showing.

The bug is also intermittent and does not always show.

Environment:

Chip: STM32F303VEHx

Compiler: arm-none-eabi-g++ (GNU Tools for Arm Embedded Processors 9-2019-q4-major) 9.2.1 20191025 (release) [ARM/arm-9-branch revision 277599]

Memory base address: 0x08018000 (program is loaded with a bootloader that jumps to the application)
