How to handle failures

Posted by dpfrey on March 2, 2017

What is the best way to deal with non-recoverable failures in FreeRTOS? Is the solution to just put configAssert() calls into the code? I intend for these checks to remain in production and not just to be for debugging during development.

Would need more information, but 'non recoverable failure' would seem to indicate that the failure cannot be recovered from, so the best thing to do is very dependent on your application.

If it is safe to reboot, then reboot. If it is not safe to reboot then take actions that place the system into a known state.

You can use the FreeRTOS+Trace tool to keep a rolling log of kernel activity. If you stop the log when the error occurs it might help with a postmortem.
