MSP430FR5972: WATCHDOG TIMEOUT

Part Number: MSP430FR5972

Hi,

I am configuring the watchdog timer  as  WDTCTL =WDTPW +  WDTCNTCL+ WDTSSEL_0 + WDTIS_1.Which is working perfectly but sometimes when watchdog expires and then I check reboot reason it shows me reset reason as LPM wakeup not watchdog timeout in Reset vector generator.

Can you tell what could be the reason for this?

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your post. Did you use LPM3.5 or LPM4.5 in your software?

    B.R.

  • May I confirm with you if you adopt LPM3.5 in you system?
  • I am using LPM4.5.And these are the setting which  I am using for LPM4.5 wakeup.

    /* Configure P1.6 as an Interrupt*/

    /*P1.6 hi/low edge*/
    P1IES |= BIT6;

    /*Clear all P1 interrupt flags*/
    P1IFG = RESET_TO_ZERO;

    /*P1.6 interrupt enabled*/
    P1IE |= BIT6;

    /*Disable watchdog before entering into LPM*/
    STOP_WDT

    /*Disable the GPIO power-on default high-impedance mode to activate*/
    PM5CTL0 &= ~LOCKLPM5;

    /*Open PMM Registers for write*/
    PMMCTL0_H = PMMPW_H;
    PMMCTL0_L |= PMMREGOFF;

    /*Disable high-side SVS*/
    PMMCTL0_L &= ~(SVSHE);

    /*Lock PMM Registers*/
    PMMCTL0_H = RESET_TO_ZERO;

    /* Enter LPM4 Note that this operation does not return. The LPM will exit through a RESET event, resulting in a re-start*/
    __bis_SR_register(LPM4_bits);

    /*MCU will wait here until the interrupt receive on P1.6*/
    while (1)
    {

    }

  • Hi,

    The LPM4.5 will also cause a MCU BOR reboot and the reset cause store at SYSRSTIV as WDT reset as well.
