While deleting multiple sectors in flash, interrupts were disabled over the whole time. Thus, deleting the entire flash led to the triggering of the watchdog timer and thus to a restart. Therefore, the interrupts and the cache are disabled only for the time of deleting a single sector. The same problem occurred for read and write large data sets.
Xtensa newlib version requires pthread_setcancelstate as symbol. Therefore, the module pthread was always used, which in turn requires the module xtimer. The xtimer module, however, uses TIMER_DEV(0). Therefore, tests/timers failed for TIMER_DEV(0).
