Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MIDAS

Tool/software:

Hi team,

I ask this for my customer.

In their application, they don't use external WD, but in Midas, this is not be modified and always be enabled

How can they do to tune the FMEDA when they isn't enable this SM?

  • Use of external watchdog is required. Please point customer to "assumptions of use" section in the MCU functional safety manual.

  • Hi Gus,

    1. Want to double check with you about this, you mean the description show in below?

    2. Our FMEDA to calculate the value of SPFM, LFM... assume the system use watchdog. So we have no idea to calculate the value of Fusa related parameters if we isn't use the watchdog.

    3. Another question from customer:

    if customer choose the IEC62380, it has permanent FIT 

    But if customer choose the SN29500, it isn't have permanent FIT 

  • 1. Want to double check with you about this, you mean the description show in below?

    Yes, that is the section.

    2. Our FMEDA to calculate the value of SPFM, LFM... assume the system use watchdog. So we have no idea to calculate the value of Fusa related parameters if we isn't use the watchdog.

    The calculations will NOT change if you disable the watchdog because it is assumed to always be there. TI does not provide FMEDA metrics with watchdog disabled.

    3. Another question from customer:

    if customer choose the IEC62380, it has permanent FIT 

    But if customer choose the SN29500, it isn't have permanent FIT 

    I am unable to reproduce this. 

    Can you suggest to customer to file support ticket with Cadence directly? They can submit their .json file to allow Cadence engineers to reproduce the issue.
