 		 #174042 - watchdog management
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Baptiste Pomechicot said:
It's right that I must (sic?) restart the watchdog in many functions.

Must you? Why?

Clearly, if your processor gets stuck in a loop which includes one of these functions, the Watchdog will never time out!
That's what I meant by, "a flawed watchdog management scheme"!

It's a shame because I'll prefer to do that only one time on the main loop of my soft.
But I don't know solution to extend watchdog timer longer than 500ms...

Are you really saying that 1 iteration of your main loop can take >500ms?!
