Watchdog reset using C32 v2.00 compiler
Compiling an existing PIC32 project using the v2.00 C compiler produces a continual watchdog reset. This problem does not appear using the previous v1.12 compiler. Changing the watchdog postscaler value (up to 1048 seconds) has no effect. The watchdog reset occurs almost immediately after startup, definitely not enough time for the timer to expire. Disabling the watchdog allows the code to run as expected.
There was a change to the startup code in v2.00, but I am not using any custom startup code to my knowledge. Could there be a problem with the timer used by the watchdog not being enabled correctly? Where should I look to try and debug this issue?
MORE INFO
The reset occurs when I clear the watchdog timer. If I use
WDTCONSET = 0×01;
// or
WDTCONbits.WDTCLR = 1;
// or
ClrWdt();
The reset will occur.
If I don’t reset the watchdog timer (let the timer expire), I get a reset after the time specified by the postscalar, as expected.

Hey. Im working with an AT91SAM7S256 and IAR-Workbench. I´ve watchdog enabled. When the watchdog raise, a reset is done. So far so good. But i want to do some code befor reset. Is it possible to set the watchdog-reset-vekor to an funktion? Can i detect at startup, if there was a hardreset or an softreset? Reset-controller-register?? Are all static variables at startup always zero? Many questions, hope somebody can give me some answers. regards MrRossiHello, In all of my past experiences with a watchdog timer, the behavioral model has been the following: * Configure the watchdog to certain timeout period. * Call a function to reset the watchdog more frequently than the timeout periond. * If the watchdog is not reset before the timeout period, the processor is reset. I would like to use the watchdog on my LM3S8962. But when I look at the Stellarisware watchdog example, I see that the ampquot;resettingampquot; of the watchdog timer is done in an ISR. This does not seem like a good design ...Hi all, I am developing an application for Elevator Control, and I want a reliable WatchDog timer, I had a bad experiance when I was working with PIC mircocontroller that on power up the PIC didnt make self reset and also the watchdog timer didnt reset the PIC even the WatchDog was Enabled by Fuse(not by the software), my current design is using ATMEGA8, I am afraid this problem may occar with the ATMEGA8, so I made a design for a hardware WatchDog timer, but this will take more area on the PCB, so I need your advice, can I ...I use this: PIC16F819 OSC=8MHZ (internal) In fuse bit : Watchdog timer = Enable But the Watchdog timer overflow rapidly and reset happen till my circuit powered!!! I see the generated assembly code , the CLRWDT op-code is not nowhere in the generated code! the microbasic pro compiler automate generate CLRWDT op-code and put into the assembly code at the correct time to clear Watchdog timer and stoppage to reset the microchip! the mikrobasic pro do not this ability? or i have wrong way to set it?Hi all, i'm quite new with AT91. Hope can get helps from you all... Currently I'm using AT91SAM7S256 for my project... and planning to use the watchdog to reset the system when the software hanged. I had went through the database search, and did the same things.. but doesnt working.. As mentioned in datasheet, the watchdog is using slow clock at 32.768kHz. Would like to double confirm whether I need to set any clocks in order to get the slow clock run at 32.768kHz as needed for watchdog. If yes, what is the sequence to configure the clock properly? Below is my code. Does the watchdog ...My team is working on developing a prototype of our design that is centered around a JN5148 module. We are now able to program it, and have loaded the most recent ZBPro application template. Most of the time the chip is reset by the watchdog timer 16 seconds after it is turned on. Sometimes when we run it, the watchdog does not expire, however it is kicked only every 14 seconds or so (cutting it close). We cannot see any difference between the times that it sort of works and the times that it doesn't. Does the template expect the user to add a software timer to reset ...Im using a m1284.

The watchdog is running with a time period of two seconds. In the initialisation code I can detect a watchdog reset (together with all the other types). My question is this:- if a watchdog reset happens is there anyway of knowing where the processor was just before the watchdog kicked in? Of course, I've read the datasheet but there is no mention of a separate register etc. that holds the program counter nor any other information that I can find. Any thoughts? PeteHello everyone, I would like to use the watchdog as a watchdog, instead of as a timer. Meaning I would like to set the watchdog timer to a certain time and if I do not disable it before the time expires, it should reset the MCU. Does anyone have an example code for this? GreetingsReading over the watchdog timer section of the UM for the LPC17xx family it states - "Once the WDEN and/or WDRESET bits are set they can not be cleared by software. Both flags are cleared by an external reset or a Watchdog timer underflow. [page 568 - CH28 section 4.1]". Since instructions are not executed during Sleep - how do you feed / kick / service the watchdog? I thought that by using the PCLK this would be an issue since the PCLK should not be running during Sleep, consequently not decrementing the counter but this is not ...Hey guys (and maybe gals), I was wondering if anyone knows whether the watchdog timer always occurs before a reset? (Obviously if the registers are set to do both) on the mega168. The only reason I ask is that I have had some unexpected events although the watchdog ISR hasn't executed, and I can only assume the watchdog ISR was never called as the reset occurred while in an interrupt. Is this correct as I cant find any information stating this in the manual? Thanks in advance.I run my FEZ Cobra with 7" display amp watchdog timer set to 5 sec. One of my customers reports the display freezes in some situations. FEZ Cobra however is not reset by the watchdog timer? Is it possible FEZ completely locks up and even the watchdog timer is not triggered in such case? Any of you guys seen this before? TIA JosHey, i have trouble getting the watchdog on my atmega2561 to run properly. When i stop resetting the watchdog timer, the watchddog seems to reset the cpu but it never comes back online. it just hangs until i reset the power supply. external reset for example works just fine. but when the system hangs because of watchdog, not even the external reset works anymore, nothings works... according to the datasheet i think that all reset sources does end up in setting the "internal reset". so i think every reset shout behave the same why. why doesn't it? Greets GoddchenThe main program is turning ON LED on PORTA forever, when watchdog timer overlow the microcontroler reset.watchdog timer cause reset of hardware so the flashing light effect is go on Files - versi [12.85 KB] (Oct 21, 2009) - versi 2 for reset watchdog [12.97 KB] (Oct 21, 2009)I have COP enabled. If I put the program into a loop without a watchdog reset, the processor resets as expected. But the SRS register alomost always is clear. Sometimes the PIN bit is set, sometimes the COP bit is set, sometimes POR bit is set. Most of the time the register is clear. If I debug, and cause a watchdog timeout, the SRS_COP is set. I just power up the project and I got a SRS_POR. Then I reset the processor by the reset pin and got a SPS_POR.Hi, I'm needing to either implement a proper watchdog timer, which would involve flashing a new bootloader on to the atmega1281 in order to shorten the startup time, with some guidance from the libelium community or I need to work out a way around some issue I'm having currently with a software implemented watchdog timer which involves an absolute jump to the reset vector My watchdog isr is as follows: Code: ISR(WDT_vect) { cli(); f_wdt=1; // set global flag digitalWrite(WTD_INT_PIN_MON,HIGH); MCUSR = 0x00; wdt_disable(); __asm__("jmp 0x0000"); } Is it possible that some i/o peripherals ...Hi, i'm working on a AT91SAM7X-EK development board, and i'm trying to figure out if the normal at91 watchdog behavior can be changed or workarounded because: "The Watchdog Mode Register (WDT_MR) can be written only once. Only a processor reset resets it. Writing the WDT_MR register reloads the timer with the newly programmed mode parameters." due to this feature, if i disable watchdog on start up, i'm not able to turn in on anymore until the next reset. What i want to do is disable watchdog on startup, and then turn it on later (on a custom received can message). ...Hello to everyone. I'm in trouble with a code: in this code (implemented on a AT90PWM3B) I do many tasks with a little scheduler anc control a motor with the PSC. I set the watchdog reset every 16ms and I reset it every 4ms in order to prevent the reset when the code is running. Occasionaly the software crashes (some tasks stop to work) but the watchdog doesn't reset. I put a little routine at the reset that's never called so I suppose the micro is not resetting. Why could be the possible cause in your opinion? Is the watchdog ...Reading over the watchdog timer section of the UM for the LPC17xx family it states - "Once the WDEN and/or WDRESET bits are set they can not be cleared by software.

Now I have another doubt, ie is the arduino bootloader may be checking if the reset is due to a watchdog overflow or not, and if it is due to watchdog overflow, it may be directly jumping to the ...
