rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 26 * To generate a fatal run-time error, you can use the mbed error() function.

rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 34 *
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 35 * The message can use printf-style formatting, so you can report variables in the
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 36 * message too. For example, you could use this to check a run-time condition:
