Hi,

I have made a C-program to my Foxboard, an embedded linux computer running 2.6.15. My program loops one time per two seconds and do several tasks.
Now to my problem: When the program has executes a couple of hours, some times 15 hours, the time is very different, the system spontanious reboot. I have placed printouts (printf) in the code but I do not understand where the problem is. May be watchdog?
How should I troubleshoot??? messages and dmesg clears when system reboots.
I have used GDB-debugger with DDD-interface but do not see anything.
Any ideas how to use GDB-debugger???
I think it is a memory leak, but how to trace?

/Henrik

A couple of thoughts ...

If you suspect the watchdog timer, is there a way to disable it for testing/troubleshooting?

Looking over this page, it sounds like you can have (or maybe it is the default) system messages sent out from your serial port (if you are not using it for something else). Perhaps you could have another computer monitoring/logging that output to help you figure out what is happening?
