LAUNCHXL2-570LC43: LAUNCHXL2-570LC43 : Digital Windowed Watchdog is not shown in HALCoGen configuration ?!?

Part Number: LAUNCHXL2-570LC43
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

Hello,

I received the LAUNCHXL2-570LC43 evaluation board kit to practice a little bit. I have set up my environment including HALCoGen, CodeComposerStudio and the provided Safety Library. But I have one concern regarding the Digital Windowed Watchdog (DWWD) which should be in the HALCoGen settings, but I can not find it anywhere.

I already looked into the RTI settings, but there is no DWWD module (digital windowed watchdog) shown. When I open the HALCoGen TMS570LC43x Help-button, I am able to see some functions regarding the watchdog timer. For example:

uint32 dwwdGetCurrentDownCounter

(

rtiBASE_t

rtiREG

)

Get the current DWWD Down Counter.

Parameters

[in]

rtiREG

Instance of one of the RTI modules.

Returns

Current tick of selected compare

 

 

I was expecting to see a DWWD module which can be configured and parametrized for your application.

I thought HALOCoGen was created to simplify designer’s life in terms of configuration, but at this point I really get confused how to use the DWWD module properly and how to set up a proper timing window just for testing purpose.

 

Kind regards
