Function Description:
This function enables the watchdog timer function. After a user calls this function, the user must call the
wdt_clear() function to refresh the watchdog timer; otherwise the CPU resets, or a non-maskable interrupt
is generated.
wdt_clear
Syntax:
wdt_clear()
Function Description:
This function refreshes the watchdog timer, thereby avoiding the resetting of the CPU or the generation of
a non-maskable interrupt.
wdt_disable
Syntax:
wdt_disable()
Function Description:
This function disables the watchdog timer function.
Appendix A Register Structure
This appendix gives a short description of each of the ADAM-4500's registers. For more information
please refer to the data book for the STARTECH 16C550 UART chip.
All registers are one byte in length. Bit 0 is the least significant bit, and bit 7 is the most significant bit. The
address of each register is specified as an offset from the port base address (BASE), COM1 is 3F8h and
COM2 is 2F8h.
DLAB is the "Divisor Latch Access Bit", bit 7 of BASE+3.
BASE+0
Receiver buffer register when DLAB=0 and the operation is a read.
BASE+0
Transmitter holding register when DLAB=0 and the operation is a write.
BASE+0
Divisor latch bits 0 - 7 when DLAB=1
BASE+1
Divisor latch bits 8-15 when DLAB=1.
The two bytes BASE+0 and BASE+1 together form a 16-bit number, the divisor, which determines the
baud rate. Set the divisor as follows:
