133 <div class="textblock"><p>CMSIS-RTOS defines <b>Thread Watchdogs</b> that allow to control timing constraints for thread execution <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_isolation">temporal isolation</a>.</p>
134 <p>Each thread has an independent watchdog timer that is started with the function <a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__ThreadMgmt.html#ga8f4455b06afb95c1915f15266818a8c6">osThreadFeedWatchdog(uint32_t ticks)</a>. The <span class="XML-Token">ticks</span> value specifies the timeout before it expires. Within this time interval the function <a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__ThreadMgmt.html#ga8f4455b06afb95c1915f15266818a8c6">osThreadFeedWatchdog</a> must be called again within the thread to restart the watchdog timer.</p>
135 <p>If the thread watchdog is not restarted during the specified amount of ticks the Watchdog Alarm callback <a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__ThreadMgmt.html#ga5a02770aaf65c7a3c7562c109884176a">osWatchdogAlarm_Handler(osThreadId_t thread_id)</a> is triggered and can be used to recover the system or proceed to the system shutdown.</p>
136 <p>Figure below explains the concept with an example:</p>
138 <img src="thread_watchdogs.png" alt=""/>
139 <div class="caption">
140 "Example use of Thread Watchdogs</div></div>
141 <p><a class="el" href="rtos_process_isolation_faults.html">Fault Handling</a> provides more details on the available possibilities for system recovery. </p><dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>If the application suspends a thread from scheduling by calling <a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__ThreadMgmt.html#gaa9de419d0152bf77e9bbcd1f369fb990">osThreadSuspend</a> or <a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__ThreadMgmt.html#gadadb56627094dbb07f6aeddf7d713fd9">osThreadSuspendClass</a>, the thread watchdog still continues to run, and it is expected to expire and trigger <a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__ThreadMgmt.html#ga5a02770aaf65c7a3c7562c109884176a">osWatchdogAlarm_Handler</a> because the thread will not be serviced as expected. </dd>
143 Hence it may be necessary to differentiate handling of thread watchdogs that expired unexpectedly from the thread watchdog alarms of intentionally suspended threads.</dd></dl>
