Fault Handling

Fault Handling and Fault Tolerance

We discuss techniques to make Realtime systems more tolerant to software bugs.

Processor reboot and recovery techniques is Realtime systems are described here.

Hardware fault tolerance and redundancy techniques are covered in this document.

This article describes the fault handling lifecycle and fault detection techniques.

Hardware Diagnostics and Power On Self Tests are covered here.

Fault Tolerance software design requires basic knowledge of hardware. Here we cover some basic bus cycles performed by processors.

We continue our discussion with a look at DMA operations and Interrupt Handling.

>Basics of hardware and software reliability and availability

Computing the availability of system from the availability of its components.
