[En-Nut-Discussion] Watchdog

[Hugo Simon]

You should put it into a routine that your application repeats every once a
while. Sense of the watchdog to restart the system when it hangs. So a new
task for triggering the watchdog is not a good idea, because maybe your
application gets stuck but the watchdog task triggers the watchdog anyway.
So the system stucks forever.

Hello,

I have faced common problem - where better to place watchdog reset routine?
Is it better to create new task with high priority or to place it in idle
task?
