Re: [ECOS] Redboot vs GDB application download (ARM E7T)

["Ali Sina" <replay688 at hotmail dot com>]

Hello Paul,

Thanks a lot for the reply. I will look into it, as it is one place to 
start.

In the meantime, do you(or anyone) have a possible explaination as to why 
this behavior only occurs if I use the Redboot "load" command to get my code 
to the board, and not when I use GDB ? I have been reading up and could not 
find anything suspicious.

I have been using GDB all along during development cycle and never had this. 
Application has been running correctly for long periods of time (48+ hrs) 
and then turned off. So if it is a bug in there, I wouldn't know where to 
look.

Thanks again,

Ali S.

Smells like the watchdog timer.

Either that, or you have a conventional bug in your software.
