c55 watchdog timer

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5515

Hi

I wonder about the way the watchdog timer works. I know it can reset the DSP, but can it also be connected to a software interrupt (without system reset)?

If it is possible - how should I do it?

Thanks

Yaron

  • Hello Yaron,

       When the timeout event occurs, the watchdog timer resets the entire chip with the exception of the RTC. Can you please elaborate on "connecting to software Interrupt " in your application.

       Also,  For more details refer to  "sprufo2" - Timer/Watchdog Timer Userguide   TMS320C5515/14/05/04/VC05/VC04 DSP User's Guide

  • Hi Vasantha

    Thanks for your reply.

    I wanted to know if the watchdog timer is connected to the HWI_RESET, or does it have it's one mechanism to reset the system.
