Fault Handler

This function is a bit outside of the scope described throughout this chapter. Many applications that are tested and launched must not fail and should never experience an exception that is not handled by the application. The fault handler system is invoked if no other method is used to catch the fault.

The fault handler is very useful and convenient during integration and as a means of diagnosis during development and can also be used in a runtime system using the HW_FAULT_MBX feature (details in a later slide). Find details on the Fault Handler in chapter “Diagnosis and Integration” of this training.
