Every MMU-less micro lets you read address 0.

A lot of micros have MPUs that'll catch address 0 accesses without a full MMU. AFAIK all ARMs newer than ARM7 (ie. ARMv5) have one for instance.

Yeah, they will, if you activated it. And if you made access to 0 address be caught explicitly ( you might have the MMU active but not have it configured in such a way)
