Part Number: EK-TM4C1294XL

Hi,

While using watchdog timer in TM4C1294XL launchpad, interrupt is getting hit again and again after enabling the interrupt. Please provide a solution to use watchdog timer.

Hello Arun,

Please see our TivaWare provided example for Watchdog located at: [Install Path]\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295\examples\boards\ek-tm4c1294xl\watchdog

Best Regards,

We have repeated the same steps like in example but watchdog interrupt handler is hitting always when we enable the watchdog .

ROM_IntEnable(INT_WATCHDOG);

Kindly provide us with a solution

Hello Arun,

What is the code in your Watchdog ISR?

I can say for certain the TivaWare Watchdog example works fine, I can't provide a better solution from TI than that, so this will need to be about understanding what you did different from it.

Also what is the WATCHDOG_TIMER_LOAD value?

Best Regards,

Ralph

Inside watchdog isr watchdog clear is done. ROM_WatchdogIntClear(WATCHDOG0_BASE);

#define WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT_PERIOD 1.2 // 1.2s timeout
#define WATCHDOG_TIMER_LOAD (WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT_PERIOD * SYSTEM_CLOCK_FREQUENCY)

Hello Arun,

I really cannot replicate your situation. I am attaching a project where I am using your variables to load the Watchdog. The LED blinks consistently at a slow rate, there is no indication of ISR re-entry at all.
