Hi, I bought a OpenMV RT1062 and i’m planning on designing a custom shield with some I/O and ethernet communication;  
I was wondering: if my micropython script crashes, is there any way for the camera to recover automatically (using a watchdog circuit to automatically reboot everything for example)?

Yes, there’s a watchdog in the machine module you can enable which will reset the system if not fed.
