9. 3 5 WDT Function The working algorithm of the WDT function can be simply described as a counting process The Time Out Interval can be set through software programming The availability of the time out interval settings by software or hardware varies from boards to boards ROBO 8912VG2AR allows users control WDT through dynamic software programming The WDT starts counting when it is activated It sends out a signal to system reset or to non maskable interrupt NMI when time out interval ends To prevent the time out interval from running out a re trigger signal will need to be sent before the counting reaches its end This action will restart the counting process A well written WDT program should keep the counting process running under normal condition WDT should never generate a system reset or NMI signal unless the system runs into troubles The related Control Registers of WDT are all included in the following sample program that is written in C language User can fill a non zero value into the Time out Value Register to enable refresh WDT System will be reset after the Time out Value to be counted down to zero Or user can directly fill a zero value into Time out Value Register to disable WDT immediately To ensure a successful accessing to the content of desired Control Register the sequence of following program codes should be step by step run again when each register is accessed Additionally there are maximum 2 seconds of counting
