Re: [lpc2000] Problem with watchdog

2005-12-06 by Ake Hedman, eurosource

I have found part of this problem. The GNU compiler translates

WDFEED = 0xAA; WDFEED = 0x55;

to

710 04c4 8E22A0E3         mov    r2, #-536870904
711 04c8 5530E0E3         mvn    r3, #85
712 04cc 0030C2E5         strb    r3, [r2, #0]
713 04d0 8E22A0E3         mov    r2, #-536870904
714 04d4 5530A0E3         mov    r3, #85
715 04d8 0030C2E5         strb    r3, [r2, #0]


i.e. just writing 0x55.    This is done even if compiled with 
optimization of.

Anyone know how to work around this?

Watchdog registers are currently defined as

// Watchdog
#define WDMOD          (*((volatile unsigned char *) 0xE0000000))
#define WDTC           (*((volatile unsigned long *) 0xE0000004))
#define WDFEED         (*((volatile unsigned char *) 0xE0000008))
#define WDTV           (*((volatile unsigned long *) 0xE000000C))
