Part Number: MSP430F6779

From user guide.

RTCOFIFG, Its main purpose is to wake up the CPU from LPM3.5 if an oscillator failure occurs.

page 599

Is it correct to use RTCOFIFG to monitor oscillator failure during CPU active?

Hi Waragorn,

Yes, I think you are correct.

The details of RTCOFIFG can be found in user's guide, it is used for 32kHz crystal:

If CPU process in normal mode(No wake up LPM3.5 event).

Is it correct to use RTCOFIFG to monitor oscillator failure?

Hi Waragorn,

It should work regardless of whether the CPU is active or not according to description.
