Dear Ralph,

This kind of argument gets nowhere.

It was not an assertion, but a response to a claim by the poster who
started the thread.  The original claim was that while in Data Abort
exception watchdog timer overflow does not trigger a reset.

If only one did not get bogged down by misinterpreting the definitive
form of expression I use in my *response*, perhaps one would have seen
from further posts I made on the same thread that:

1/  I do not used the watchdog for this purpose;
2/  I have not verified the original claim; and
3/  I do not have the means to verify the claim.

[My explanation was only in the context of the impressive LPC family
errata sheets, past discussions about watchdog timer problems and the
work around proposed by Philips.]

Thus I am deeply sorry that I am unable help you or the broader LPC
community to investigate this matter further at this time

Perhaps someone else can liaise directly with the original poster and
tell us what the findings are.

Kind regards,

Jaya
