Your processor is misbehaving; none of the above hex codes are undefined
instructions, so you shouldn't be taking an undefined instruction trap.

That, coupled with the random nature of these crashes leads me to believe
that it's a case of noisy power supply to the SoC. Suggest you get your
hardware people to check your board.
