Yielding control - WDT

Post by MorseIot » Sun Mar 24, 2019 8:21 pm

The ESP8266 is a single threaded processor. This means it can only do one thing at a
time as there are no parallel threads that can be executed concurrently with each other.

For the OS to take control, without happening the WDT, expressiv system firmware, use yield () to pass control to the OS. In Micropython what would be the command or routine equivalent to yield () ???

Thanks

None is needed. MicroPython does that automatically in between executing Python instructions.

Are you having a specific problem that is triggering the WDT, or are you just asking out of curiosity?
