2.5.4.4 Lockup

The processor enters a lockup state if a fault occurs when executing the NMI or HardFault handlers. When the processor is in lockup state it does not execute any instructions. The processor remains in lockup state until either:

  • It is reset
  • An NMI occurs
  • It is halted by the debugger
Important: If lockup state occurs from the NMI handler a subsequent NMI does not cause the processor to leave lockup state.
