Watchdog Timer
23.
WATCHDOG TIMER
The watchdog timer is integrated in the chipset of the
cool
MONSTER/S
and can issue a reset to the
system or generate a non-maskable interrupt (NMI). The watchdog timer circuit has to be triggered
within a specified time by the application software. If the watchdog is not triggered because proper
software execution fails or a hardware malfunction occurs, it will reset the system or generate the
NMI.
23.1
Configuration
You can set the watchdog timer to disabled, reset or NMI mode. You can specify the delay time from
1 second up to 30 minutes and the timeout (trigger period) from 0.4 seconds up to 10 minutes. The
delay time is the time until the watchdog gets active the first time and the timeout starts to count
down. The timeout is the time the watchdog has to be triggered within. You can make the
initialization settings in the BIOS setup. Refer to the Watchdog Settings Submenu in the Appendix
B: BIOS Operation chapter for information on configuration.
23.2
Programming
23.2.1.
Initialization
You can initialize the watchdog timer from the BIOS setup. You also can set up the initialization
from the application software with the help of the JIDA (Jumptec Intelligent Device Architecture)
programmer’s interface or by using low-level programming.
23.2.2.
Trigger
The watchdog needs to be triggered out of the application software within a specified timeout
period. You can only do this in the application software by using low-level programming or with
help of the JIDA programmer’s interface.
For information about the low-level programming for the watchdog timer, refer to the Application
Note WdogLEU2_3_E???.DOC. It can be requested from the Kontron technical support.
For information about the JIDA programmer’s interface refer to the JIDA BIOS extension section in
the Appendix B: BIOS chapter and separate documents available in the JIDA software packages on
the Kontron Web site.
