    bootloader: FreeRTOS app now boots properly · 729411db

    The issue was the SysTick timer, which was configured by the bootloader to
    blink the backlight LEDs, but was not de-configured before booting to the
    application.
    
    Without the SysTick timer de-configured, the FreeRTOS tick timer, which relies
    on the SysTick timer, fired before FreeRTOS could be properly configured. Since
    the FreeRTOS SysTick handler contains some OS-specific functions and data, the
    fact that these were not initialized probably led to a segfault.
    
    This issue was fixed in boot.c, by de-configuring the SysTick timer.
