3 Summary

Unexpected problems can happen when stack overflow occurs. This application note describes two options for stack overflow detection. Option 1 is done with memory peek/poke. It is easy to implement, but cannot detect the worst case because stack usage varies with code running. Option 2 is detecting continuously and alerts once an overflow happens.
