What is independent watchdog?
The independent watchdog is used to detect and resolve malfunctions due to software failures. It triggers a reset sequence when it is not refreshed within the expected time-window. Once enabled, it forces the activation of the low-speed internal oscillator, and it can only be disabled by a reset.
What is window watchdog?
The window watchdog is used to detect the occurrence of software faults. The window watchdog has a programmable free-running downcounter that must be refreshed within a window period that guarantees proper software execution. The window watchdog can be programmed to detect abnormally late or early application behavior.
What is WWDG?

What is watchdog STM32?
A watchdog timer is a simple countdown timer which is used to reset a microprocessor after a specific interval of time. In a properly operating system, software will periodically “pet” or restart the watchdog timer. After being restarted, the watchdog will begin timing another predetermined interval.
How many bits is Iwdg?
The IWDG features a 12-bit free-running downcounter. It is clocked by an independent low-speed internal RC oscillator at 32 kHz. When the IWDG is activated, a reset is generated if the downcounter reaches zero or when the downcounter is reloaded outside the window (if this option is enabled).
What is watchdog timer in embedded system?
A watchdog timer is a piece of hardware that can be used to automatically detect software anomalies and reset the processor if any occur. The embedded software selects the counter’s initial value and periodically restarts it.
How do I remove watchdog from Windows 10?
Once the list populates, locate the Watchdog product in the list of installed applications and right-click on the Watchdog product and choose Uninstall/Change.
What is the difference between WDT and timer?
As I said earlier, WDT is basically a timer. So it keeps counting down till zero. As long as all the tasks completed in approximate precomputed time before tick count reaches zero. WDT repeatedly reinitialize with tick count at the end of the loop(as shown in the code snippet above).
What is WWMG stm32?
The window watchdog is used to detect the occurrence of software faults. It can be programmed to detect abnormally late or early application behavior. It is best suited for applications required to react within an accurate timing window. Once enabled, it can only be disabled by a device reset.
What is WWMG STM32?
Why do we need watchdog timer in embedded systems?
The primary application of a watchdog timer is as a system monitor to detect and reset an “out of control” microprocessor. When program execution goes awry it will not properly execute the code that restarts the watchdog. In such a case the watchdog timer will timeout and cause a microcontroller reset.
Which is independent watchdog or window watchdog ( WWDG )?
The independent watchdog (IWDG) is clocked by its own dedicated low-speed clock (LSI) and thus stays active even if the main clock fails. The window watchdog (WWDG) clock is prescaled from the APB1 clock and has a configurable time-window that can be programmed to detect abnormally late or early application behavior.
What can IWDG and WWDG be used for?
This is it for IWDG, the next part will cover the WWDG. The window watchdog is used to detect the occurrence of software faults. It can be programmed to detect abnormally late or early application behavior. It is best suited for applications required to react within an accurate timing window.
When to reset Hal IWDG before WWDG refresh?
For WWDG usage this is much faster and reset before HAL_PWR_EnterSTOPMode is called, despite HAL_WWDG_Refresh is called after each line. I tested also those scenarios also on Nucleo L05. The Independent watchdog can not be stopped in any processor mode. You have to wake up regularly to reload the watchdog.
Do you need to reload window watchdog ( WWDG )?
ST suggests using the ISR to reload the watchdog — that is, kick the dog so a reset does not occur. Don’t take their advice. If the program crashes the interrupt handlers may very well continue to function normally. And using an ISR to reload the WDT invalidates the entire reason for a window watchdog.
