Hard fault during BLE initialization on custom board.

I have been developing a custom board based on the NUCLEO-WB55RG dev board (Dual core micro with BLE stack running on dedicated core) and the GattClient BLE example. On the dev board everything works fine but when I try to run the identical firmware on my custom board (BLE, timing, and power hardware are copied from the dev board) I get a hard fault error and the BLE fails to initialize.

I am trying to isolate the source of the problem and I would appreciate any and all feedback. Does this sound like a hardware issue? I have included the error message and the crash parse results. Any insights you can offer would be welcomed as I am not sure how to interpret these error messages. Thanks!
