Please avoid any POST code toggling. There are POST boards out there which display the last n POST codes and make it a lot easier to follow the code path. Once you add POST code toggling, that history is flushed away really fast.
We have some places where we output POST codes in a tight loop in a die() function (or whatever it is called). Coupling watchdog timer reset with outputting POST codes makes sure that the machine will NEVER reboot on serious errors and we might as well disable the watchdog altogether.
How does this outputing in a loop interact with the above mentioned POST cards that store a history?
What is the purpose of these outputs in die() loops?
