Task Watchdog Sample
####################
Overview
********
This sample allows to test the task watchdog subsystem.
Building and Running
********************
It should be possible to build and run the task watchdog sample on almost any
board. If a hardware watchdog is defined in the devicetree, it is used as a
fallback. Otherwise the task watchdog will run independently.
Building and Running for ST Nucleo L073RZ
=========================================
The sample can be built and executed for the
:ref:`nucleo_l073rz_board` as follows:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/subsys/task_wdt
:board: nucleo_l073rz
:goals: build flash
:compact:
For other boards just replace the board name.
Sample output
=============
The following output is printed and continuously repeated (after each
reset):
