Name	Number	Description
TxWatchdog	1	A software bug was detected while trying to send LoRaLoRaA low-power, long-range wireless communication technology used by Meshtastic devices to enable communication over distances of several kilometers without the need for cellular, Wi-Fi, or other traditional network infrastructures..
SleepEnterWait	2	A software bug was detected on entry to sleep.
NoRadio	3	No LoRaLoRaA low-power, long-range wireless communication technology used by Meshtastic devices to enable communication over distances of several kilometers without the need for cellular, Wi-Fi, or other traditional network infrastructures. radio hardware could be found.
Unspecified	4	Not normally used.
UBloxInitFailed	5	Failed while configuring a UBlox GPSGPS (Global Positioning System). A satellite positioning system. A node with a GPS module determines its own location and can report that position to the mesh..
NoAXP192	6	This board was expected to have a power management chip, but it is missing or broken.
InvalidRadioSetting	7	The channel tried to set a radio setting not supported by this chipset; radio communication settings are now undefined.
TransmitFailed	8	Radio transmit hardware failure. Data was sent to the radio chip, but it did not respond with an interrupt.
Brownout	9	Main CPU voltage dropped below the minimum acceptable value.
SX1262Failure	10	Self-test of the SX1262SX1262A Semtech sub-GHz LoRa transceiver, used in most current Meshtastic hardware and recommended over the older SX127x series. radio chip failed.
RadioSpiBug	11	A failure (likely software, possibly hardware) was detected while sending packets. If this occurs on your board, please post in the forum to help us collect information to fix this bug.
FlashCorruptionRecoverable	12	Corruption was detected on the flash filesystem, but it was repaired.
FlashCorruptionUnrecoverable	13	Corruption was detected on the flash filesystem, and it could not be repaired. Note: Your node will likely need reconfiguration upon the next reboot (e.g., lossLoS (Line of Sight). A pathway through only air between two points. of region code).
