WatchDog Timer has disappeared at Designer 5.3 ?

[Anonymous]

        In Global Resources Tab, There is no item for WDT, Has it changed procedure of initial WDT setting ? (PSoC:8C29466-24PXI, Vista 32bit)

This obviously is an error in the internal chip-property-definition for the CY8C29466 and should be fixed asap! I found at least one example for a device where the Watchdog Timer could be enabled. Since the 29466 HAS got a WDT it was clearly only forgotten. I'm going to file a tech case.

I indeed did file a tech case and got a response immediately (on a sunday!!) that Cypress is going to work on that to solve it asap.

Hi,

   

This is a bug really. Thanks for reporting this to us. It will be fixed in the next release of PSoC Designer. Any more feedback/suggestions are welcome.

   

As a workaround, following macro can be executing in application code if WatchDog is needed:

M8C_EnableWatchDog ;

   

More information of how this can be done and Clocks and Global Resources configuration of PSoC1 devices can be found in AN32200.  http://www.cypress.com/?rID=2773

   

Thanks,
