The Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT) generates reset after a programmable period, if not serviced within that period. This time-out boundary is configurable, and the windowed feature allows the start time boundary to be configurable. The WWDT can generate an Interrupt, if not serviced within window (Open Window) defined by start time and time-out boundary. Also the WWDT can generate an Interrupt if serviced outside Open Window (within Closed Window). Generation of Interrupt depends on the WWDT Reaction configuration. SDL supports configuration of the watchdog timers. It also supports notification of the error via ESM interrupt. Additionally, APIs for checking the status of the watchdog timer is provided.
The RTI modules include the following main features:
There are Four RTI Timer instances, implemented by the Real-time Interrupt function of the RTI/WWDT module. Four Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT) instances, implemented by the Digital Windowed Watchdog (DWWD) function of the RTI/WWDT module
The WWDT instances are intended to function as a digital windowed watchdog for the CPU core that they are associated with:
All WWDT instances that are provisioned for a particular CPU core should not be used by any other CPU cores.
The following shows an example of SDL RTI API.
