Completely out of my comfort zone, started coding firmware 1 week ago from scratch, building on firmware with BLE we have had for years.
We have a WDT counter0 that mainly resets the system if 3 consecutive interrupts are unresolved.
We have WDT counter1 that interrupts once per second and reads an array of sensors.
This system works relatively well, although it can brown out or simply power down unexpectedly about once per month. It also resets every now and then, which is fine.
I would like to introduce WDT counter 2 (set as interrupt) to put pressure on the system. We are theorizing that our WDT interrupts might be colliding with component (BLE?) interrupts, resulting in an unknown state.
I can set up counter 2 normally, and it triggers at the interval I am expecting. However, it seems that the interrupts are not cleared properly. In fact, the CY_ISR (newFunction) does not even run when the counter reaches it's toggle bit. Is there something I need to enable that is different from WDT0 and 1? I know it cannot clear itself and cannot match number.
I can provide code example, but would need to remove proprietary sections. So I'm making a higher level inquiry first.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @PeteFirmware ,
Please can you go through the link provided below which has code example on WDT.
Thanks & Regards

Please can you check with the priorities of the interrupts can you set priority 0 for BLE and 1 for WDT and check once or else please can you share your code so that we can check at our end.
Thanks & Regards

I've attached an image of the interrupts that show up under system wide resources. BLE_BLESS is the highest priority, although it's not 0. I have WDT2 code switchable by a #if clause. When turned off everything works fine. When turned on it consistently resets after 32 seconds, which corresponds to 2x the togglebit on WDT2.
Hopefully, this extracted code makes sense. Timer_Interrupt ISR triggers fine. Tester ISR does not, although WDT2 clearly feeds WDT0 with unresolved interrupts. I've played around with the placement of CySysWdtClearInterrupt for WDT2 quite a bit, putting it in main loop, Tester ISR, separate function etc. I have searched online extensively for code examples with WDT2, but it is much less used than 0 and 1. I must be missing something fundamental.
void WDT_Reset()
{
//feed the hardware watchdog
CySysWdtUnlock();
CySysWdtResetCounters(CY_SYS_WDT_COUNTER0_RESET);
CySysWdtClearInterrupt(CY_SYS_WDT_COUNTER0_INT);
CySysWdtLock();
}
…
#if TEST_EXTRA_ISR == ENABLED
CY_ISR(Tester) {
void ClearWDT2();
}
void ClearWDT2( void )
{
CySysWdtClearInterrupt(CY_SYS_WDT_COUNTER2_INT);
}
#endif
…
CY_ISR(Timer_Interrupt) // 1Hz
{
Interrupt_Function1();
return;
}

CySysWdtUnlock();

One theory I have is that two CY_ISR functions are not allowed by our controller. So CY_ISR(Tester) cannot trigger, which means I'd have to do an if statement differentiating the source of the counter to trigger the function I want.
Anyone knows how to extract which WDT counter was activated? I used this code, which failed spectacularly:
CY_ISR(Timer_Interrupt) // 1Hz
{
uint32 intSource = CySysWdtGetInterruptSource();
/* if interrupt is generated by COUNTER 1 */
if((intSource & CY_SYS_WDT_COUNTER1_INT) == CY_SYS_WDT_COUNTER1_INT)
{
Interrupt_Function1();
}
/* if interrupt is generated by COUNTER 2 */
if((intSource & CY_SYS_WDT_COUNTER2_INT) == CY_SYS_WDT_COUNTER2_INT)
{
DBG_PRINTF(" - WDT2 Triggered! - ");
ClearWDT2();
}
return;
}
