Watchdog Timer
If the watchdog is enabled with a zero value loaded to the counter and the
WDRO
bit was cleared, the
WDRO
bit of the watchdog control register is set
immediately and the counter remains at zero without further decrements.
If, however, the
WDRO
bit was set by the time the watchdog is enabled, the
counter decrements to 0xFFFF FFFF and continues operation.
Software can disable the watchdog timer only by writing a 0xAD value
(
WDDIS
) to the
WDEN
field in the
WDG_CTL
register.
Register Definitions
The watchdog timer is controlled by three registers.
WDOG_CNT Register
The watchdog count register (
WDOG_CNT
, shown in
32-bit unsigned count value. The
WDOG_CNT
register must always be
accessed with 32-bit read/writes.
The watchdog count register holds the programmable count value. A valid
write to the watchdog count register also preloads the watchdog counter.
For added safety, the watchdog count register can be updated only when
the watchdog timer is disabled. A write to the watchdog count register
while the timer is enabled does not modify the contents of this register.
