Core fault detected before halt at address: 0xEF000008. Attempting to reset processor. ...????????

Hi!

we are trying test the booting process in our Custom board.we want to boot the processor(BF532) from SPI Boot(BMODE 11).
we are observing CS(Chip select) of SPI memory is going 1 to 0 transition when we are resetting the board.But, booting is not started.
Then we have tried with the emulator....
This is what we have done

First we have put hardware Breakpoints at locations 0xEF000000(BootRom) and 0xFFA08000 then we have run the processor in emulation............
when RESET button is pressed, we are observing the BF532 is coming to BootROM (0xEF000000) but after that we again run, it is not going to 0xFFA08000...it is strucking at 0xEF000000 and throwing this type of error
"Core fault detected before halt at address: 0xEF000008. Attempting to reset processor."
we don't know much in that, but a wage idea like...
this means bootrom is unable to do booting process may be hardware or someother problem...........but we can't able figure out what's this.....

if anybody experienced with this help us.............
