ccs c cannot change wdt prescaler at a run time
PostPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2022 1:51 am     Reply with quote

Hi everyone,

I'm getting error "Can not change WDT prescale at run-time" when calling setup_wdt(WDT_2S).

The code:
Code:

#include <18F67K22.h>

#fuses WDT_SW
#FUSES NOWDT                      //Watch Dog Timer   
#FUSES NOXINST                  //Extended set extension and Indexed Addressing mode disabled (Legacy mode)
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#use delay(internal=8000000)

#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, stream=RS485, errors) 

unsigned int16 a=0;

void main()
{
   output_high(pin_c5);//RS485
   
   delay_ms(1000);
   fprintf(RS485,"Start\n");
   setup_wdt(WDT_ON | WDT_2S);
   
   while(TRUE)
   {
     a++;
     fprintf(RS485,"a:%lu\n",a);
   
     restart_wdt();
     
      delay_ms(500);
   }

}

It works with WDT_1S but this way it doesn't even compile. What is the problem? I use 5.015 version.

I installed CCS vs. 5.015 and it compiles your code with no errors or warnings.

Because you can't.

The watchdog prescaler is set in the fuses.

If you code with the line:

setup_wdt(WDT_ON | WDT_2S);

then look at the list file at the fuses, you will see they are set for 2 seconds.
recompile the same code but change it to say 1 sec, and the only thing that
will change in the resulting listing, is the fuses. So from WDT512 to
WDT256.

The C line here is rather misleading. Parts of it (the part that turns the
WDT on/off), code as a line in the assembler. However the watchdog 'time'
just determines the fuse settings, so can only be set _once_ in any
program. You cannot change the watchdog time (on these chips), except
in the fuses. So the time can only be set once.

In the manual:
"Some parts do not allow the time to be changed at run time". This chip
is one of those.

I suspect PCM, he has got two time lines in the code that actually fails.
What he posted works, but if he tries to _change_ the time somewhere
in the code, it won't. So his actual failing code probably has another
line setting the time to 1Sec.

So if he has:
Code:

   setup_wdt(WDT_1S);
   output_high(pin_c5);//RS485
   
   delay_ms(1000);
   fprintf(RS485,"Start\n");
   setup_wdt(WDT_ON | WDT_2S);


It'll fail has he describes.
Or if he has a prescaler fuse setting somewhere.
On newer compilers it'll give 'WDT Postscale can only be set once', rather
than the error he currently has.
