Hello, 

I am using SPC582Bxx controller. I want to configure software watchdog timer in my project. How to add that SWT. Currently I'm using autodevkit studio for software development. Please tell me how to configure that?

Thank you,

Hi Kannan,

If you wish to add a watchdog that periodically executes a function (SW checks, SPI operations, Serial writes, LED blink etc.) you can use STM.

STM (System Timer Module) is a system timer embedded in ST microcontrollers.
It is used to measure time and to trigger periodical events, via interrupts.

I suggest taking a look to the following demo: SPC582Bxx_RLA STM Test Application for Discovery, which implements Software STM configuration for AEK-MCU-C1MLIT1 (which mounts SPC582B micro)
