Overview

This sample allows to test the task watchdog subsystem.

Building and Running

It should be possible to build and run the task watchdog sample on almost any board. If a hardware watchdog is defined in the devicetree, it is used as a fallback. Otherwise the task watchdog will run independently.

Building and Running for ST Nucleo L073RZ

The sample can be built and executed for the Nucleo L073RZ as follows:

west build -b nucleo_l073rz samples/subsys/task_wdt
west flash

For other boards just replace the board name.

Sample output

The following output is printed and continuously repeated (after each reset):
