> Watchdog testing is tricky. I've found that if I erase the 2138 and set a break in the MM_WATCHDOG_ISR() it works ONCE. Then, I must erase or re-flash the part with watchdog dis. before trying again, otherwise it will always hit the watchdog ISR as soon as the watchdog is enabled. Also, test in flash only, not in ram. Do NOT load test code with watchdog time-out too quick or

Hi all. I am trying to enable the watchdog but the result is a total hang of the board. Not even the bootloader is possible to reach after the crash and I have to reapply power with P0.14 low to get access to the botloader again. Reset is not enough. The code to initialize the watchdog is // initialize the watchdog timer WDTC =

Hi guys, I searched the messages and I couldn't find a final answer concerning this issue. Is it possible to use the watchdog as a periodic timer or not ? According LPC2138 user manual it is not possible: "WDINT: The Watchdog Interrupt Flag is set when the watchdog times out. This flag is cleared when any reset occurs. Once the watchdog interrupt is serviced, it can be disabled in ...

Hi I am nearing the end of our first project with the LPC2294 and need to implement the watchdog. I am pretty sure I have it setup correctly, and with it in its debug mode I can cause a jump to the watchDog IRQ routine when I put the uP into an endless loop.

Hi, some problem: after flashing the internal flash with IAP, i want to perform a restart.

So i write this code: voi

Greetings, Has somebody discovered a way to debug with debugger enabled on LPC2106? Reading through what google could find, it seems like it is not possible to disable the watchdog just for debugging. I am using an Amontec JTAGtiny with openocd V0.4 to debug LPC2106 program. I can debug it fine if I comment out my watchdog initialization routine. But, if I leave it in the code, it resets...

Sorry if this has been visited before, but my searches haven't turned it up. I am using the IAR WorkBench 5.4 (Kickstart Edition) Basically I want to have the WatchDog operate in INT mode, not RESET, so that I can do some housekeeping in the interrupt routine before system reset. I want to use IRQ Vector 0 so the WatchDog INT takes priority over all other IRQs in the system. I am running...

I'm seeing some odd WDT behaviour - need a reality check please.... According to the UM : "Once 0xAA is written to the WDFEED register the next operation in the Watchdog register space should be a WRITE (0x55) to the WDFFED register otherwise the watchdog is triggered." My reading of this is that as long as the 55 is the next thing written into the WDT register space, the delay between w...

Hello. I'm looking at a project at our company that was done on an LPC 2468. One of the things these folks did is write a FLAG in the USB RAM space, force a watchdog reset, and when the board boots back up see what the FLAG is set to. The FLAG determines weather to boot into a primary or secondary image basically. Apparently doing a watchdog reset does not clear the USB RAM I'm doing a ...

Hi there, The project I am working on requires a software reset after a firmware upgrade. One possible solution is to setup a really short watchdog timer. However, the firmware design already has a watchdog timer with it, so it would be harder to distinguish between a real watchdog reset and our intentional reset. Is there any other ways to cause a software reset in LPC2148? The pro...
