+@section Introduction
+
+Upon detection of a fatal error by either the
+application or RTEMS 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,  the
+RTEMS provided default fatal error handler is invoked.  If the
+user-supplied fatal error handlers return to the executive the
+default fatal error handler is then invoked.  This chapter
+describes the precise operations of the default fatal error
+handler.

+@section Default Fatal Error Handler Operations
+
+The default fatal error handler which is invoked by
+the fatal_error_occurred directive when there is no user handler
+configured or the user handler returns control to RTEMS.  The
+default fatal error handler disables processor interrupts to
+level 15, places the error code in g1, and goes into an infinite
+loop to simulate a halt processor instruction.
