Hello,

I had a problem for 1 month to use a Watchdog mechanism in Netduino Plus. FYI, the "Watchdog" acts as a software reboot with a predefined timer.

The watchdog functions have been already developed in C# Micro Framework, but they never work. Based on the comment I got from Chris: "No watchdog implemented in the gen1 hardware.  We're currently designing a software update for gen2 hardware which would enable it."

Finally, I created my own watchdog function which works well to reboot the Netduino after a fixed time (e.g., 5h).

public class MainFrame{        const Int32 wdDelay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 5;   // 5h        static Timer wdtimer = new Timer(watchdog, null, wdDelay, 0);                public static void Main()        {            // Write your codes here        }        public static void watchdog(object state)        {            PowerState.RebootDevice(false);     //Watchdog.Enabled = true;        }}

I hope it helps you in your project
