The _Watchdog_Ticks_since_boot value is incremented with each call to 
rtems_clock_tick().  The rtems_clock_tick() is called normally by the clock 
driver interrupt handler.

If you don't know the exact stack requirements, then it my help to use the 
stack checker (for <rtems/confdefs.h>).

#define CONFIGURE_STACK_CHECKER_ENABLED

You can also use the "stackuse" RTEMS shell command.

The idle thread is a normal thread.  The only restriction is that it must not 
call a potentially blocking function.

Particular easy to use simulators are the built-in GDB simulators for the 
"sis", "psim", or "jmr3904" BSPs.
