Function Documentation#

WDOGn_Enable#

void WDOGn_Enable (WDOG_TypeDef * wdog, bool enable)

Enable/disable the watchdog timer.

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.

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.


Definition at line 75 of file platform/emlib/src/em_wdog.c

WDOGn_Feed#

void WDOGn_Feed (WDOG_TypeDef * wdog)

Feed WDOG.

Parameters
[in]wdog

A pointer to the WDOG peripheral register block.

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.

WDOGn_Init#

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

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

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.

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.


Definition at line 203 of file platform/emlib/src/em_wdog.c

WDOGn_Lock#

void WDOGn_Lock (WDOG_TypeDef * wdog)

Lock the WDOG configuration.

Parameters
[in]wdog

A pointer to WDOG peripheral register block.

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.

WDOGn_SyncWait#

void WDOGn_SyncWait (WDOG_TypeDef * wdog)

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

A pointer to WDOG peripheral register block.


Definition at line 321 of file platform/emlib/src/em_wdog.c

WDOGn_Unlock#

void WDOGn_Unlock (WDOG_TypeDef * wdog)

Unlock the WDOG configuration.

Parameters
[in]wdog

A pointer to WDOG peripheral register block.

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


Definition at line 345 of file platform/emlib/src/em_wdog.c

Macro Definition Documentation#

WDOG_SYNC_TIMEOUT#

#define WDOG_SYNC_TIMEOUT
Value:
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
Value:
WDOG

Default WDOG instance for deprecated functions.


Definition at line 58 of file platform/emlib/inc/em_wdog.h

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. */ \

wdogPeriod_256k /* Set longest possible timeout period. */ \
