This might be done even without a logic analyzer. Just do something
like:

	pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .enabled = 1, .period = 5s })
	pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .enabled = 1, .period = 5s, .duty = 5s })

and if that takes less then 5s the period is not completed.

And note that "abrupt shutdown" is a bug.

Strange, but ok.

Best regards
