Yes, my log has:

---------firmware exception debug info on cpu0-----------------------------
  EPC=60034b60, Cause=00800014, Status=1100fc03, BadAddr=00000000, 
RetAddr=60034a58
  exception id=5(ADES: Address Error Store)
  exception occured in TASK Level
  task_id=161, SP=0x629390b8(3188 bytes free, 5664 used bytes)
  system tick =26381273
  CURRENT_VERSION : 4.5.2_RC5
  get from address : 60017000
  Dump CPU0 registers:
...


but if you look eg. here:

https://www.draytek.co.uk/support/guides/kb-troubleshoot-reboot

they list a log like this - this seems a 'normal' feature of reboot 
issues, without considering flash failure.
