S12zvl “unintended” vs. “intentional” watchdog reset

[charudattaingal]

Hello Team,

we need to  discern unintended” vs. “intentional” watchdog reset.

we need to differentiate watchdog reset is occur due to no feeding/Servicing watchdog,when window is open.
OR 
watchdog reset occur due to writing invalid pattern on watchdog register.

Please suggest.

Thanks You!

Best Regards,

Charudatta

Hello Charudatta,

You can use a flag variable at a specific address and then read it in startup code by a pointer before it gets reinitialized by the ZeroOut, CopyDown functions in the default CW startup code. Or you can place a variable to NO_INIT section as it was discussed here: How to avoid RAM cleaned in start up for S12ZVML 

So that it doesn't get initialized. 

Regards,

Daniel
