WDOG - Watchdog

Description

Watchdog (WDOG) Peripheral API.

Function Documentation

WDOGn_Enable()

void WDOGn_Enable ( WDOG_TypeDef * wdog,
bool enable
)

Enable/disable the watchdog timer.

Note
This function modifies the WDOG CTRL register which requires synchronization into the low-frequency domain. If this register is modified before a previous update to the same register has completed, this function will stall until the previous synchronization has completed.
Parameters
[in] wdog A pointer to the WDOG peripheral register block.
[in] enable True to enable Watchdog, false to disable. Watchdog cannot be disabled if it's been locked.

WDOGn_Feed()

void WDOGn_Feed ( WDOG_TypeDef * wdog )

Feed WDOG.

When WDOG is activated, it must be fed (i.e., clearing the counter) before it reaches the defined timeout period. Otherwise, WDOG will generate a reset.

Note
Note that WDOG is an asynchronous peripheral and when calling the WDOGn_Feed() function the hardware starts the process of clearing the counter. This process takes some time before it completes depending on the selected oscillator (up to 4 peripheral clock cycles). When using the ULFRCO for instance as the oscillator the watchdog runs on a 1 kHz clock and a watchdog clear operation might take up to 4 ms.

If the device enters EM2 or EM3 while a command is in progress then that command will be aborted. An application can use WDOGn_SyncWait() to wait for a command to complete.

Parameters
[in] wdog A pointer to the WDOG peripheral register block.

WDOGn_Init()

void WDOGn_Init ( WDOG_TypeDef * wdog,
const WDOG_Init_TypeDef * init
)

Initialize WDOG (assuming the WDOG configuration has not been locked).

Note
This function modifies the WDOG CTRL register which requires synchronization into the low-frequency domain. If this register is modified before a previous update to the same register has completed, this function will stall until the previous synchronization has completed.
Parameters
[in] wdog Pointer to the WDOG peripheral register block.
[in] init The structure holding the WDOG configuration. A default setting WDOG_INIT_DEFAULT is available for initialization.

WDOGn_Lock()

void WDOGn_Lock ( WDOG_TypeDef * wdog )

Lock the WDOG configuration.

This prevents errors from overwriting the WDOG configuration, possibly disabling it. Only a reset can unlock the WDOG configuration once locked.

If the LFRCO or LFXO clocks are used to clock WDOG, consider using the option of inhibiting those clocks to be disabled. See the WDOG_Enable() initialization structure.

Note
This function modifies the WDOG CTRL register which requires synchronization into the low-frequency domain. If this register is modified before a previous update to the same register has completed, this function will stall until the previous synchronization has completed.
Parameters
[in] wdog A pointer to WDOG peripheral register block.

WDOGn_SyncWait()

void WDOGn_SyncWait ( WDOG_TypeDef * wdog )

Wait for the WDOG to complete all synchronization of register changes and commands.

Parameters
[in] wdog A pointer to WDOG peripheral register block.

WDOGn_Unlock()

void WDOGn_Unlock ( WDOG_TypeDef * wdog )

Unlock the WDOG configuration.

Note that this function will have no effect on devices where a reset is the only way to unlock the watchdog.

Parameters
[in] wdog A pointer to WDOG peripheral register block.

WDOGn_IsEnabled()

bool WDOGn_IsEnabled ( WDOG_TypeDef * wdog )
inline

Get enabled status of the watchdog.

Parameters
[in] wdog Pointer to WDOG peripheral register block.
Returns
True if watchdog is enabled.

WDOGn_IsLocked()

bool WDOGn_IsLocked ( WDOG_TypeDef * wdog )
inline

Get locked status of the watchdog.

Parameters
[in] wdog Pointer to WDOG peripheral register block.
Returns
True if watchdog is locked.

WDOG_Enable()

void WDOG_Enable ( bool enable )
inline

Enable/disable the watchdog timer.

Parameters
[in] enable Set to true to enable watchdog, false to disable. Watchdog cannot be disabled if watchdog has been locked.

WDOG_Feed()

void WDOG_Feed ( void )
inline

Feed the watchdog.

WDOG_Init()

void WDOG_Init ( const WDOG_Init_TypeDef * init )
inline

Initialize watchdog (assuming the watchdog configuration has not been locked).

Parameters
[in] init Structure holding watchdog configuration. A default setting WDOG_INIT_DEFAULT is available for initialization.

WDOG_Lock()

void WDOG_Lock ( void )
inline

Lock the watchdog configuration.

WDOG_IsEnabled()

bool WDOG_IsEnabled ( void )
inline

Get enabled status of the watchdog.

Returns
True if watchdog is enabled.

WDOG_IsLocked()

bool WDOG_IsLocked ( void )
inline

Get locked status of the watchdog.

Returns
True if watchdog is locked.

Macro Definition Documentation

WDOG_SYNC_TIMEOUT

#define WDOG_SYNC_TIMEOUT   30000

In some scenarioes when the watchdog is disabled the synchronization register might be set and not be cleared until the watchdog is enabled again.

This will happen when for instance some watchdog register is modified while the watchdog clock is disabled. In these scenarioes we need to make sure that the software does not wait forever.

DEFAULT_WDOG

#define DEFAULT_WDOG   WDOG

Default WDOG instance for deprecated functions.

WDOG_INIT_DEFAULT

#define WDOG_INIT_DEFAULT
Value:
{ \
true, /* Start watchdog when initialization is done. */ \
false, /* WDOG is not counting during debug halt. */ \
false, /* WDOG is not counting when in EM2. */ \
false, /* WDOG is not counting when in EM3. */ \
false, /* EM4 can be entered. */ \
false, /* Do not block disabling LFRCO/LFXO in CMU. */ \
false, /* Do not lock WDOG configuration. */ \
wdogClkSelLFRCO, /* Select 32.768 kHz WDOG oscillator. */ \
wdogPeriod_256k /* Set longest possible timeout period. */ \
}

Suggested default configuration for WDOG initialization structure.
