This happens several times for me: I have a board running for a while (even for days), and then it crashes or is stuck somewhere. Yes, I usually use a watchdog do recover from that situation. But it would be good to know and debug the problem. With CodeWarrior I had the functionality in the debugger to ‘attach’ or ‘connect’ to a running (stuck/crashed) board. However, with Eclipse/Kinetis Design Studio/GDB this is a different debugger, and not possible.

Travelling with the Swiss railway system has its own benefits: beside of the ability to do work (emails, documents, meeting preparation) while travelling, it has the advantage of beautiful views.

And if you want to have a multi-monitor-screensaver-background-180°-degree-view 🙂 from one of my favorite railway train stations, here we go (the station is on the left behind me):
