I don't know this specific processor, but on some processors, the
first load causes the mapping to change. On others the first write
causes the mapping to change. On others the FLASH is actually mapped
twice into memory, so accessing it at both the low and high addresses
is perfectly valid until you remove the low mapping and replace it
with RAM.

You need to read the data sheet for your specific processor and see
how it handles this mapping.
