+ * Name: board_crashdump
+ *
+ * Description:
+ *   If CONFIG_BOARD_CRASHDUMP is selected then up_asseert will call out to
+ *   board_crashdump prior to calling exit in the case of an assertion failure.
+ *   Or in the case of a hardfault looping indefinitely. board_crashdump then
+ *   has a chance to save the state of the machine. The provided
+ *   board_crashdump should save as much information as it can about the cause
+ *   of the fault and then most likely reset the system.
+ *
+ *   N.B. There are limited system resources that can be used by the provided
+ *   board_crashdump function. The tems from the fact that most critical/fatal
+ *   crashes are because of a hard fault or during interrupt processing.
+ *   In these cases, up_assert is running from the context of an interrupt
+ *   handlerand it is impossible to use any device driver in this context.
+ *
+ *   Also consider the following: Who knows what state the system is in? Is
+ *   memory trashed? Is the Heap intact? Therefore all we can expect to do in
+ *   board_crashdump is save the "machine state" in a place where on the next
+ *   reset we can write it to more sophisticated storage in a sane operating
+ *   environment.
