Abstract
A method for processing data is provided that includes starting a processor from an off state and loading watchdog timer handler code into a processor memory. Executing the watchdog timer handler code and determining whether a catastrophic error has occurred during execution of the watchdog timer handler code. Invoking a system management module to update error code if it is determined that the catastrophic error has occurred and invoking a first phase dispatcher to set up a first stack frame associated with a first phase if it is determined that a catastrophic error has not occurred.
