This is 7 registers, so 28 bytes at a time. So you copy
28, 56, .... 2044, 2072

I don't know what happens when you access memory over the end of
the SRAM area. Maybe it fires a data abort or something like that?

I'd use 4 registers instead of 7, but it might well not be the problem

"blt" would be better, because when it is equal you are done. Or using
4 registers will not prevent the extra accesses.

Finally, you should ensure the literary pool is within the first 2kB.
I'd place ".ltorg" before the "1:", or would check the disassembly.

Hope this helps, but it may well not help

/alessandro, who has an mx21ads looking at him but also real work to deliver
