MSP432 Watchdog Timer

Hi,

In the MSP432® Peripheral Driver Library USER’S GUIDE, page 382. It states "When in the mode,

a PUC can be avoided with a call to WDT_A_resetTimer() before the timer runs out."

1. What is "PUC"? I could not find anything about it.

2. WDT_A_resetTimer() is not defined. It caused compilation error. What function do I use to reset the WDT?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Samuel!

PUC means power up clear.

I do not use the DriverLib myself yet, but did you include the proper .h file into your project for using the function call? Look at this document, page 7 and following:

Hi Dennis,

I already included the header file. I think the correct one to use is:

MAP_WDT_A_clearTimer();

Thanks anyway,

Sam
