Re: LPC2103 watchdog issues

2006-05-19 by Danish Ali

One trap I fell into was that I was running my code in _user_ mode
rather than _system_ mode on the arm processor.

In user mode, you can't manipulate the interrupt enable / disable bits.

The rowley-supplied interrupt enable / disable routines assume you're
in system mode and don't work in user mode. It might be the same for
IAR (I don't know).

My way out? I now have a SWI routine to feed the watchdog
(IRQ automatically disabled - all you must do is disable FIQ
during the feed).

Hope this helps,
Danish
