Prevent cRIO from getting stuck when running out of RAM

[Thomas444]

I have been dealing with cRIO running out of RAM and then getting stuck, not responding, not restarting. It is crucial for my application not to get stuck. One way is of course to try to avoid this problem preventively, but I need a solution that safely restarts the device in case of bug for example, so that it does not let the device get stuck. Can you think any solution? Thank you.

Hi Thomas,

on cRIO you can use the watchdog to restart your device in case of "getting stuck"…

But nevertheless: a RealTime system should NEVER run "out of memory"!

If you're running out of memory or railing your CPU so you can't communicate, those are bigger problems than what you're hoping to resolve.

Don't waste your time resolving this. Instead, focus on solving either of those.  You'll need to do that to make your application successful and they'll solve your concern as a fun side effect
