Introduction
The example demonstrates the PMIC watchdog in Q&A mode which will generate a interrupt when the core fails to send the answers to the watchdog. The application configures the GPIO pins and the watchdog in the PMIC to send and receive the Q&A signals and the GPIO pin in the board to receive the interrupt from the PMIC upon failure. It services the watchdog for few iterations and stops sending the answers. Then, the core will wait to receive the PMIC interrupt. If the interrupt occurs, the test passes else fails.
- Note
- This example won't work in the debug mode as the user must not service the watchdog while in debug mode. Flash the application to get the expected result.
Supported Combinations
Parameter | Value |
CPU + OS | mcu-r5fss0-0 freertos |
Toolchain | ti-arm-clang |
Board | am62px-sk |
Example folder | examples/drivers/pmic/pmic_qa_watchdog_interrupt |
Steps
- When using CCS projects to build, import the CCS project for the required combination and build it using the CCS project menu (see Using SDK with CCS Projects).
- When using makefiles to build, note the required combination and build using make command (see Using SDK with Makefiles)
- As it is a watchdog example, it cannot be loaded through CCS as it may fail in debug mode. It should be flashed and booted through SBL to get the expected results.
- Refer Flash a Hello World example for flashing the application.
