  • Hi Guru,

    The mechanism of watchdog timers and reset are described in the Technical Reference manual - chapter 16.4.

    http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruf98x/spruf98x.pdf

    You could check the which registers are necessary to be configured. About reset period look at 16.4.3.4 Prescaler Value/Timer Reset Frequency and Table 16-64. The configuration of the register write in the u-boot board file.

  • Hi Tsvetolin Shulev,

                                       Hi I came to know how to initialise watchdog registers & and how  to change delay using WLDR reg, but I'm not getting how to use pre-scalar(i.e. WCLR reg), and one more thing is I want to stop the counter register of watchdog after it has reached certain point I want to know what is  the procedure to stop watchdog counter after initialisation. Please guide me in this issue.
