Currently there is not a simple way to save crash dump in the flash.

This information (crash dump) could be lost on systems running in the field with watchdog enabled.

Research direction

Start by reading related issue #3417 and the SYSLOG issues reference linked in the report. Define how crash dumps should be persisted in flash and recovered after a watchdog reset; done should mean the dump is not lost in field operation and can be accessed afterward.
