I'm not sure that I have a correct idea but I might have
accidentally found a possible explanation. I'll need
someone with more technical understanding to either confirm
my suspicion or tell me I'm incompetent. The queue for the
latter starts behind my wife.

I carried out the reverse process today - create a
slideshow on the Laptop with RPCEmu and then zip it up and
transfer to the ARMX6.

When I tried to run the slide show, I got a familiar
message, "Application may have gone wrong..." On clicking
on Describe it said, "Code runs too low".

Is this something to do with low- and high-vector ROMs?

How can I check which kind of ROM is in RPCEmu (using the
current stable ROOL build)? I'm fairly sure that it's a
low-vector ROM in the ARMX6.
