Page 56: Setup Watchdog Timer Step - Wdt0 And Wdt1
FabiaTech Corporation NOTE: 1. If you program the watchdog to generate IRQ15 signal when it times out, you should initial IRQ15 interrupt vector and enable the second interrupt controller (8259 PIC) in order to enable CPU to process this interrupt. An interrupt service routine is required too. - Page 57 FabiaTech Corporation Watchdog Timer Enabled To enable the watchdog timer 0 (WDT 0), you have to output a byte of timer factor to the watchdog register whose index address is 22h and data port is 23H. The following is an Assemble program, which demonstrates how to enable the watchdog timer and set the time-out period at 4 seconds.
- Page 58 FabiaTech Corporation Watchdog Timer Trigger After you enable the watchdog timer, your program must write the same factor as enabling to the watchdog register at least once every time-out period to its previous setting. You can change the time-out period by writing another timer factor to the watchdog register at any time, and you must trigger the watchdog before the new time-out period in next trigger.
- Page 59 FabiaTech Corporation WDT1 setup Step: 1. Write time into register 6Ah-6Ch. 2. Select signal from register 69h. 3. Set register 68h bit 8 to enable WDT1. To clear the watchdog timer counter: 1. Write any value to register 67H Watchdog Timer Enabled To enable the watchdog timer 1 (WDT 1), you have to output a byte of timer factor to the watchdog ports address is 68h.
