Affinity mask that specifies the RTSS core(s) on which the watchdog timer counter will be reset. See Specifying a Processor Affinity Bitmask for more information.

Possible error codes:

Error code	Meaning
ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED	Monitor for runaway threads is disabled in the wRTOS Settings.

Remarks

RtResetWatchdog should be called in a higher priority thread than the potential timeout-causing thread, or on a free core. See Runaway Thread Management for more information on the use of the watchdog timer.
