.. _pyb.WDT:
|
|
|
|
class WDT -- watchdog timer
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The WDT is used to restart the system when the application crashes and ends
|
|
up into a non recoverable state. Once started it cannot be stopped or
|
|
reconfigured in any way. After enabling, the application must "kick" the
|
|
watchdog periodically to prevent it from expiring and resetting the system.
|
|
|
|
Example usage::
|
|
|
|
wdt = pyb.WDT(5000) # enable with a timeout of 5s
|
|
wdt.kick()
|
|
|
|
Constructors
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: pyb.WDT([timeout])
|
|
|
|
Create a WDT object. If the timeout is specified the WDT is started.
|
|
The timeout must be given in seconds and 1s the minimum value that
|
|
is accepted. Once it is running the timeout cannot be changed and
|
|
the WDT cannot be stopped either.
|
|
|
|
Methods
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. method:: wdt.kick()
|
|
|
|
Kick the WDT to prevent it from resetting the system. The application
|
|
should place this call in a sensible place ensuring that the WDT is
|
|
only kicked after verifying that everything is functioning correctly.
