Hello,

I would like to temporarily disable the watchdog or increase the timer.

Is there a way to do it ?

Thank you.

Use this (with caution):

extern void wdog_configure(UINT8 enable);

wdog_configure(FALSE) - this will disable the watchdog.

wdog_configure(TRUE) - this re/enable the watchdog with the default settings.

There is a similar issue discussed here where the SW team showed the user how to restart the watchdog manually: Re: Wiced Smart Software Runtime -- Lots of Questions

I know that we can kick the watchdog but I want to disable it or increase the timeout.
