RTEMS CPU Architecture Supplement
Upon detection of a fatal error by either the application or RTEMS during
initialization the rtems_fatal_error_occurred directive supplied
by the Fatal Error Manager is invoked. The Fatal Error Manager will
invoke the user-supplied fatal error handlers. If no user-supplied
handlers are configured or all of them return without taking action to
shutdown the processor or reset, a default fatal error handler is invoked.
Most of the action performed as part of processing the fatal error are described in detail in the Fatal Error Manager chapter in the User's Guide. However, the if no user provided extension or BSP specific fatal error handler takes action, the final default action is to invoke a CPU architecture specific function. Typically this function disables interrupts and halts the processor.
In each of the architecture specific chapters, this describes the precise operations of the default CPU specific fatal error handler.
