Does the USBTAP(EONCE) support the watchdog application??

[Kanthi]

Hello,

       I am working on 56F8356 controller, i am using USBTAP (EONCE) debugger, but the debugger is not supporting watchdog timer application (COP). Do i require to do any special settings for it? Will the debugger support the watchdog application?

Hi,

I checked with my colleague working for the Harware team.

according to the manual (chip):

COP timer is disabled while the host is in Debug mode The COP timer is stopped while the processor is in Debug mode (i.e. using
CodeWarrior IDE). If the COP is enabled, the timer will resume counting upon exiting
Debug. The CEN bit in the COP Control (COPCTL) register always reads as zero
when in Debug mode, even when it has a value of one.

To resume, the Cop is disable in debug mode: so when you're using CW and the debugger.
