But my really problem is porting RedBoot to my platform. RedBoot doesnt support scheduling, its a single task, and finding every single little loop that could last longer as my watchdog period is really annoying, and time consuming. And you never know, if you missed one. The best solution would be a switchable watchdog. During the Bootstrapper is running the watchdog is disabled. Starting the real application goes hand in hand with enabling the watchdog so the application can handle it in a case dependend manner. Nevertheless my watchdog is not software controlled. :-| comments would be appreciated Is nobody running RedBoot with such a device? regards, christoph --
