问题
I am trying to get this tutorial to work as intended without success (Something fails after the bl main instruction). According to the tutorial the command
(qemu) xp /1dw 0xa0000018
should result in the print 33 (But i get 0x00 instead)
a0000018: 33
This is the content of the registers after the main call (see startup.s)
(qemu) info registers

Can someone point me in the right direction to why this isn't working according to my expectations?
Thanks Henrik

Debugging!
First, look at the PC and PSR: You're in Undef mode, in the undefined instruction handler.
OK, in an exception mode, the LR tells you where you took the exception. There are some slightly complicated rules between the PC offset and the preferred return address determining exactly what it points at, but just eyeballing it it's clearly in the vicinity of the movw/movt pair.
The movw instruction effectively only exists in the ARMv7 ISA onwards. A brief investigation tells me the machine you're emulating is some old PXA255 thing, whose CPU only implements the ARMv5 ISA. Thus it's not surprising it faults on an instruction that it predates by many years.
Your compiler is apparently configured to target ARMv7 by default (which is not uncommon), so you need to add at least -march=armv5te to your CFLAGS to target the appropriate architecture version. The 'advanced' challenge would be to switch to a different, newer, machine, but that's going to involve adapting the linker script to a new memory map and rewriting any hardware-touching code for new peripherals, so I'd save that idea for the longer term, once you're comfortable with the basics of bare-metal code and slogging through hardware reference manuals.

Minimal examples that just work

The prompt.c example takes input from your host terminal and gives back output all through the simulated UART:

This allows you to run existing programs written in C if the only use that restricted subset of the C standard library.
