I think this is a matter of either one of two things:

 + You are not starting the simulator with all the device options.
   See the script psim/psim-gdb included with the BSP in the tools
   subdirectory.
 + I am not sure what instruction/inside what function the cia
   is pointing to but it might be an issue that the shared memory
   or semaphore is not being initialized correctly.

More than likely, it is the first since the shared mem/semapahore
is mapped to different processor address range. See what the
psim script does to initialize the simulator.
