When a notification is received, SystemTask sends messages to DisplayApp, which loads the Notifications apps that sends a few messages to SystemApp. When notification are received too quickly, DisplayApp and SystemTask cannot process those messages fast enough (probably because of the time it takes to refresh the display) and the message queues fill up. When they are full, the current implementation just waits until there's room available to store the event. In this case, since both tasks exchange messages, they end up in a deadlock. This fix consists in setting the timeout value to 0 (non-blocking mode) for the NewNotification messages on the DisplayApp side. This will prevent the SystemTask from being blocked (which would result in the watchdog reseting the watch). A more generic approach should be design in the future. |

InfiniTime
Fast open-source firmware for the PineTime smartwatch with many features, written in modern C++.
New to InfiniTime?
- Getting started with InfiniTime
- Updating the software
- About the firmware and bootloader
- PineTimeStyle Watch face
Companion apps
- Gadgetbridge (Android)
- AmazFish (SailfishOS)
- Siglo (Linux)
- InfiniLink (iOS) [Looking for a new maintainer]
- ITD (Linux)
- WatchMate (Linux)
Note : We removed mentions to NRFConnect as this app is closed source and recent versions do not work anymore with InfiniTime (the last version known to work is 4.24.3). If you used NRFConnect in the past, we recommend you switch to Gadgetbridge.

Credits
I’m not working alone on this project. First, many people create PR for this project. Then, there is the whole #pinetime community : a lot of people all around the world who are hacking, searching, experimenting and programming the Pinetime. We exchange our ideas, experiments and code in the chat rooms and forums.
Here are some people I would like to highlight:
- Atc1441 : He works on an Arduino based firmware for the Pinetime and many other smartwatches based on similar hardware. He was of great help when I was implementing support for the BMA421 motion sensor and I²C driver.
- Koen : He’s working on a firmware based on RiotOS. He integrated similar libs as me : NimBLE, LittleVGL,… His help was invaluable too!
- Lup Yuen Lee : He is everywhere: he works on a Rust firmware, builds a MCUBoot based bootloader for the Pinetime, designs a Flutter based companion app for smartphones and writes a lot of articles about the Pinetime!
