Uptime.getlastreset

[marcos]

uptime.getlastreset . Has anyone used esta feature in your software specifically tested the operation of wachdog ?
In some occasions of my scouts are left hanging in the herd and understand that the only chance I have to get them back to work is entirely by a wachdog , not only software but perhaps by hardware, but implement a wachdog hardware with equipment sleep is more complicated . Since even slept the system should have a pulse indication " I'm sleeping but not dead eye " . That software gurus say . Perhaps the idea is ..... if we sleep 10 hours chained 3600 routines sleep 10 seconds and wake up just to take the pulse of soda? Well what that someone has done something uptime.getlastreset I wonder about their experiences. Thank You.

Hi Marcos! I don't fully understand your question, but I think you're asking if uptime.getlastreset can give you the "Watchdog" reset reason when the hardware watchdog indeed is the cause of the last reset? If this is what you're asking, then the answer is yes.

You can actually test this by calling the scout.reboot command, which will set the watchdog timer to 15ms, and then go into an infinite loop. (It's the safest way we found to do a runtime-based reboot, according to Atmel.)
