<libmaple/iwdg.h>

Independent Watchdog (IWDG) support. The IWDG peripheral is common across supported targets, so everything documented here is portable.

Usage Note

To use the independent watchdog, first call iwdg_init() with the appropriate prescaler and IWDG counter reload values for your application. Afterwards, you must periodically call iwdg_feed() before the IWDG counter reaches zero to reset the counter to its reload value. If you do not, the chip will reset.

Once started, the independent watchdog cannot be turned off.

Functions

void iwdg_init(iwdg_prescaler prescaler, uint16 reload)

Initialise and start the watchdog.

The prescaler and reload set the timeout. For example, a prescaler of IWDG_PRE_32 divides the 40 kHz clock by 32 and gives roughly 1 ms per reload.

Parameters:
  • prescaler -

    Prescaler for the 40 kHz IWDG clock.

  • reload -

    Independent watchdog counter reload value.

void iwdg_feed(void)

Reset the IWDG counter.

Calling this function will cause the IWDG counter to be reset to its reload value.

Types

iwdg_prescaler enum

Independent watchdog prescalers.

These divide the 40 kHz IWDG clock.

Values:

  • IWDG_PRE_4 = IWDG_PR_DIV_4 -

    Divide by 4.

  • IWDG_PRE_8 = IWDG_PR_DIV_8 -

    Divide by 8.

  • IWDG_PRE_16 = IWDG_PR_DIV_16 -

    Divide by 16.

  • IWDG_PRE_32 = IWDG_PR_DIV_32 -

    Divide by 32.

  • IWDG_PRE_64 = IWDG_PR_DIV_64 -

    Divide by 64.

  • IWDG_PRE_128 = IWDG_PR_DIV_128 -

    Divide by 128.

  • IWDG_PRE_256 = IWDG_PR_DIV_256 -

    Divide by 256.
