### STM32F103C8T6 Watchdog Configuration and Usage For configuring the Independent Watchdog (IWDG) on an STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller, it is essential to understand that this peripheral can operate independently of the main system clock, ensuring reliable operation even under severe conditions where the application might hang or malfunction. The IWDG has its own low-speed internal oscillator which makes it suitable for applications requiring robust reset mechanisms. To initialize and configure the independent watchdog: #### Enabling Access to the Independent Watchdog Registers Before any configuration changes are made, access must be enabled by writing specific values into control registers as a safety measure against accidental modifications. ```c // Enable write access to IWDG_PR and IWDG_RLR registers IWDG->KR = 0x5555; IWDG->PR = ...; // Set prescaler value here IWDG->RLR = ...; // Set reload register value here IWDG->KR = 0xAAAA; // Start the watchdog timer with new settings ``` #### Setting Prescaler Value The `IWDG_PR` register determines how much the counter frequency will be divided down from LSI/LSO before feeding into the actual countdown mechanism within the watchdog module. This allows adjustment of timeout periods without changing the core logic inside your program loop. ```c IWDG->PR = IWDG_Prescaler_32; /* Example setting */ ``` #### Configuring Reload Register This sets up what count value should trigger when reloading occurs automatically after each successful feed command (`IWDG_Reload`). It effectively defines the maximum allowed time between two consecutive feeds before triggering a reset event. ```c IWDG->RLR = 0xFFF; // Maximum timeout period example ``` Once properly initialized according to project requirements, regular refreshes need implementing through software at intervals shorter than configured timeouts to prevent unwanted resets due solely to hardware faults rather than programming errors. In addition to these configurations, ensure proper initialization sequences such as enabling clocks and other necessary peripherals have been completed prior to starting the watchdog functionality[^1]. --related questions-- 1.
