Not sure if this is the best place for this question: but...here goes:
To guarantee that a program is always running, seems like a software watchdog
is the best
idea. However, the watchdog shipped with the TS-7260 needs to be fed every 8
seconds.
Segmenting my program into 8 second blocks seems messy. So, I propose an
alternate
approach:
I'll use a separate thread (or even independent app) to periodically check in
on the main app.
If the main app doesn't check in within, say, 30 minutes, a reset can be
forced. I could use
the watchdog in that separate thread so that if it died, too, it would cause a
reset. This
seems like a good approach. Just wondering if anyone has anything better, or
some insight
into watchdog use?
