RTOS/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X: Question on BIOS_exit function

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X


Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi,

My program should only stop under a adnormal condition (like lack of memory, exceptions, etc.) or upon a power loss. If a sanity check fails, the requiriment is to reboot the soc. I am thinking to keep the cpu in a forever loop until the watchdog would timeout and reset the soc.

Can I use BIOS_exit() to implement this requirement?

What exactly BIOS_exit() does?

What is the meaning of the argument of BIOS_exit()?

Installed itens:
CCS 7.2
GCC ARM Compiler 4.9.3
