    MXC-6400 Appendix D Watchdog Timer (WDT) Function Library This appendix describes use of the watchdog timer (WDT) func- tion library for the MXC-6400 controller. The watchdog timer is a hardware mechanism provided to reset the system if the operating system or an application stalls. After starting, the watchdog timer in the application must be periodically reset before the timer expires.
  • Page 104 unit. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expi- ration of watchdog timer, or the system will reset. Syntax C/C++ BOOL SetWDT(BYTE tick, BYTE unit) Parameters tick Specify the number of ticks for watchdog timer. A valid value is 1 - 255. unit Specifies the timeout ticks of the watchdog timer.
  • Page 105 MXC-6400 Return codes TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully started. FALSE if watchdog timer is failed to start. ResetWDT Reset the watchdog timer. The invocation of ResetWDT allows restoration of the watchdog timer to the initial timeout value specified in SetWDT function. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expiration of the watchdog timer, or the system will reset.
