CCS/TMS320C5515: How to halt watchdog timer during single step debug

Guru 15580 points

Part Number: TMS320C5515

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am running into a reset problem when single stepping through my code on my C5515 target. I have enabled the watchdog timer for normal operation, but would like to disable it during single stepping in debug. Is there a setting somewhere for this?

    Mike,

    If you know what registers to write to you could try putting writes to those registers in a GEL OnHalt() function. If you click halt that function would run and disable the watchdog. You could create a second function to enable the watchdog and have it associated with a menu and you could run that when you want normal operation again.

    Regards,
    John

    John,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I was hoping for a setting in CCS Project properties "Debug" settings that would automatically disable the WDT if checked. I guess this doesn't exist. It would certainly be a nice product enhancement...:)
