NRF91 - reset device when exception occurs

[MosheSmartAmr]

Hi,

I'm using NRF91.

when an exception occur, the device gets stuck.

in production I would like to reset that device, if it occurs.

i.e.

Firstly I would stress that you never let your production devices ever get firmware that will hit a hard fault.

Secondly, have you looked at the Watch Dog Timer (WDT). This is designed to handle faults with a reset and from my development testing, I remember it triggering during a Hard Fault when the timer counter expired. Note that this will just reset the device and won't stop the hard fault from occuring again.
