Function Documentation

◆ core_panic()

NORETURN void core_panic	(	core_panic_t	crash_code,
		const char *	message
	)

Handle an unrecoverable error by halting or rebooting the system.

A numeric code indicating the failure reason can be given as the crash_code parameter.

Detailing the failure is possible using the message parameter. This function should serve a similar purpose as the panic() function of Unix/Linux kernels.

If the DEVELHELP macro is defined, the system will be halted; the system will be rebooted otherwise.

Warning: this function NEVER returns!

Parameters

[in]	crash_code	a unique code for identifying the crash reason
[in]	message	a human readable reason for the crash

Returns: this function never returns

◆ panic_arch()

void panic_arch ( void )

architecture dependent handling of a panic case

This function gives the CPU the possibility to execute architecture dependent code in case of a severe error.
