+If the BSP has been configured with @code{BSP_POWER_DOWN_AT_FATAL_HALT}
+set to true, the default handler will disable interrupts
+and enter power down mode. If power down mode is not available,
+it goes into an infinite loop to simulate a halt processor instruction.
+
+If @code{BSP_POWER_DOWN_AT_FATAL_HALT} is set to false, the default
+handler will place the value @code{1} in register @code{g1}, the
+error source in register @code{g2}, and the error code in register
+ at code{g3}. It will then generate a system error which will
+hand over control to the debugger, simulator, etc.
