It looks like tricore_tr_init_disas_context() isn't
initializing ctx->env. If this is the problem then this
patch ought to fix it:
diff --git a/target/tricore/translate.c b/target/tricore/translate.c
index c574638c9f7..305d896cd2c 100644
--- a/target/tricore/translate.c

tricore_tr_init_disas_context(DisasContextBase *dcbase,
CPUTriCoreState *env = cs->env_ptr;
ctx->mem_idx = cpu_mmu_index(env, false);

}
static void tricore_tr_tb_start(DisasContextBase *db, CPUState *cpu)
Aside to Bastian: passing the CPU env pointer into the
DisasContext isn't ideal, because it makes it quite easy
for translate.c code to accidentally use fields of the
env struct that aren't valid for use at translate time.
I think the only uses of ctx->env you have are for checking
feature bits -- I recommend following what target/arm does here:
* in tricore_tr_init_disas_context(), instead of copying the
env pointer, just copy env->features into ctx->features
* have a tricore_dc_feature(DisasContext *dc, int feature)
that checks for the feature bit in dc->features
That way you only have access in translate.c code to
information that's safe to bake into generated code, and
it's harder to accidentally introduce bugs where generated
code depends on CPU state that isn't kept in the TB flags.
