CONFIG_ASSERT¶

Enable __ASSERT() macro

Type: bool

Help¶

This enables the __ASSERT() macro in the kernel code. If an assertion fails, the calling thread is put on an infinite tight loop. Since enabling this adds a significant footprint, it should only be enabled in a non-production system.

Defaults¶

“y” if TEST
