Cortex M4 Fault Handler

[mr_s]

I have a build system that makes use of LPCScrypt on a linux machine.  Everything works really well, except that without the ability to set breakpoints (no debugger nor IDE), I'm unable to debug as effectively as I'm used to.

cr_startup_lpc43xx.c describes a lot of great fault handlers I can implement, namely, HardFault_Handler.  But I don't have a good way to print out the call stack/all the function calls that led me to this terrible, terrible point.

Is there a template I can use to paste into one of these fault handlers to be able to printf() some basic state of the world before just dying silently?

Thank you,
