12.5.5 Core Watchdog Service Register (CWSR)

The software watchdog service sequence must be performed using the CWSR as a data register to prevent

a CWT time-out. The service sequence requires two writes to this data register: first a write of 0x55

followed by a write of 0xAA. Both writes must be performed in this order prior to the CWT time-out, but

any number of instructions or accesses to the CWSR can b e executed between the two writes. If the CWT

has already timed out, writing to this register has no effect in negating the CWT interrupt. Figure 12-5

illustrates the CWSR. At system reset, the contents of CWSR are uninitialized.

Table 12-6. CWCR Field Description

Field Description
7
CWE
Core watchdog enable.
0 SWT disabled.
1 SWT enabled.
6
CWRI
Core watchdog interrupt select.
0 If a time-out occurs, the CWT generates an interrupt to the processor core. The interrupt level for the CWT is
programmed in the interrupt control register 8 (ICR8) of INTC0.
1 Reserved. If a one is written undetermined behavior results.
Note: If a core reset is required, the watchdog interrupt should set the soft reset bit in the interrupt controller.
5–3
CWT[2:0]
Core watchdog timing delay. These bits select the timeout period for the CWT as shown in the following table. At
system reset, the CWT field is cleared signaling the minimum time-out period but the watchdog is disabled
(CWCR[CWE] = 0). the following table shows the core watchdog timer delay.
2
CWTA
Core watchdog transfer acknowledge enable.
0 CWTA Transfer acknowledge disabled.
1 CWTA Transfer Acknowledge enabled. After one CWT time-out period of the unacknowledged assertion of the
CWT interrupt, the transfer acknowledge asserts, which allows CWT to terminate a bus cycle and allow the
interrupt acknowledge to occur.
1
CWTAVA
L
Core watchdog transfer acknowledge valid.
0 CWTA Transfer Acknowledge has not occurred.
1 CWTA Transfer Acknowledge has occurred. Write a 1 to clear this flag bit.
0
CWTIF
Core watchdog timer interrupt flag.
0 CWT interrupt has not occurred
1 CWT interrupt has occurred. Write a 1 to clear the interrupt request.
