MSPM0C1103: Using of Watchdog in MSPM0C1103

Part Number: MSPM0C1103

Tool/software:

Good morning TI team

I am using MSPM0C1103 micro-controller with the following setup: IAR Embedded Workbench IDE and J-link (by SEGGEER).

In MSPM0C1103 there is a Cortex M0+:

  1. I need to know if it’s possible to use the watchdog internal to M0, where it’s always enabled (default) at power-up (see M0 ARM spec). If M0 watchdog is implemented in MSPM0C1103, how can I use it?
  2. My software uses the WWDT timer and it is configured and enabled only by application software. Is it possible to enable it at power-up? In old microcontrollers (@8bit), this feature was possible to do by a particular option bit and not by application software. This ensures that the WD always starts at startup. I would like to have WWDT enabled (default) at power-up and not by application software.

 Thank you for your support.

  • Hi Michele,
    1. The MSPM0 requires this internal watchdog module to be configured before it starts running i.e. it is not always enabled nor it is enabled at power-up. 

    2. It is not possible to enable at power-up. The MSPM0 devices don't have this similar feature that MSP430 devices had. 

    Best Regards,
