Hi, I'm wanting to setup the watchdog, in watchdog mode. My clock source is 3.68MHz and i'm using ACLK as the watchdog clock source. As a simple exercise, I do: WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTSSEL + WDTCNTCL; while(1) { WDTCTL |= 8; // clear watchdog } but even in the while loop, the watchdog keeps triggering... why is the watchdog NOT being cleared in the loop????

Hello Forum members, I am using MSP430F2418 with CrossStudio. I want to use internal watchdog of this controller. I have configured the watchdog as WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; WDTCTL = WDT_ARST_1000; The refresh routine for watchdog counter consists as: WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTCNTCL; With this configuration, I am getting a watchdog reset after certain intervals. Here I am using a XTAL ...

Hey, I'm using a 1612 and i code in assembler. I'm trying to use the watchdog in watchdog mode. I run solar cells for power, and if my gps does not have enough power it will get locked up in my code. I'm trying to set the watchdog for a 1000ms delay using the ACKL(32k). A one second delay will give me enough time to run through a routine. I'm hoping to set the watchdog throughout the ...

Hi All. I'm wondering how people debug MSP430-based systems that have external watchdogs, e.g. one that will hit the MSP430 with an NMI if the external watchdog (chip) isn't hit by the MSP430 within the watchdog timeout period. Is it feasible to single-step, etc? Do you need to have special "while debugging" code that differs from production code? Do people simply disable / dis

Trust me, if I could think of a way to accomplish what I need to without the watchdog reset, I would. I'm doing a fairly complex design using a pretty cut-rate part (F2012). The USI/I2C hardware pretty much sucks and it gets stuck periodically for various reasons. I use the watchdog to get unstuck. I'm using almost all of my available resources and this has been the most compact and reliable met...

For my application I was looking for a very low current reset chips - supervisor and watchdog with no external components and in a small case (SO8 is too big). After searching at ti.com I only found the TPS3813 - with 10uA current consumption. Too much. But then I stumbled through my archive of this list and there was a suggestion: TI TPS3110K33 (2uA) - quite good. And there is the MAX686

Hello everyone, I want to have the 1000ms watchdog for my application, sourced from ACLK, so I have started it with this: WDTCTL = WDT_ARST_1000; And then in my main processing loop, I update it as often as possible with WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTCNTCL; However, in the debug session when I read the WDTCTL register, it does not retain the settings it previously had with the WDT_ARST_1000.

Hi folks, I need to use the Watchdog timer for the main polling loop, Timer A and B have other fuctions. Unfortuantely, I've not been able to get it to function as an interval timer versus a Power on Reset trigger. The code gets considerably more complex if I have to overload the A/B timers. The debugger shows the timer vector is initialized in flash and we do get one, but only one, NMI ...

The program runs correctly and never resets the CPU (by never I mean for at least 24 hours).
