| How to Wake-Up with WDT |
 Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2022 10:59 am |

I'm using a PIC18LF4520 and I'm using it with CCS 4.074, I want to use a low power state and for that I send it to sleep and I want to wake it up with the WDT but it seems that it's not working, the pic doesn't wake up, can someone tell me how to solve this ?
| Code: | #include <18F4520.h>
#fuses HS,WDT128,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)
main() {
switch ( restart_cause() ) {
case WDT_TIMEOUT: {
printf("\r\nRestarted processor because of watchdog timeout!\r\n");
break;
}
case NORMAL_POWER_UP: {
printf("\r\nNormal power up!\r\n");
break;
}
}
setup_wdt(WDT_ON);
restart_wdt();
SLEEP();
while(TRUE) {
}
} |

If the 18F4520 is sleeping, a WDT timeout will cause the PIC to wake up
from sleep and continue running code after that point. If the PIC is sleeping,
the WDT will not cause a reset.
This is in the PIC datasheet, in section:

Yes, I read it, but it is not clear to me, what would I have to modify in this code to get what I need, that the pic goes to sleep and that the WDT wakes it up? |

Maybe this will do what you want:
| Code: |
#include <18F4520.h>
#fuses HS,WDT128,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)
main() {
switch ( restart_cause() ) {
case RESET_INSTRUCTION: {
printf("\r\nRestarted processor because of watchdog timeout!\r\n");
break;
}
case NORMAL_POWER_UP: {
printf("\r\nNormal power up!\r\n");
break;
}
}
setup_wdt(WDT_ON);
restart_wdt();
SLEEP();
reset_cpu();
while(TRUE) {
}
}
|
Mind that the code as it is will never reach while(true) loop, so it will basically just keep resetting the CPU. I suppose you want it to do something when the processor wakes up :-) |

Try something like this:
| Code: | #include <18F4520.h>
#fuses HS,WDT512,NOPROTECT,NOLVP, PUT
#use delay(clock=20M)
#use rs232(baud=9600, UART1, ERRORS)
//================================
void main()
{
printf("Start\n\r");
restart_wdt();
sleep();
delay_cycles(1);
printf("Wake-up from sleep occurred\n\r");
while(TRUE)
{
restart_wdt();
}
} |

Or if you want something done after wake-up, something like this:
| Code: |
#fuses HS,WDT128,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)
#define Working 1
#define Sleeping 2
int8 Go_To_Sleep = Working;
main() {
setup_wdt(WDT_ON);
restart_wdt();
while(true){
switch (Go_To_Sleep) {
case Sleeping: {
printf("\r\nSleeping!\r\n");
sleep();
Go_To_Sleep = Working;
break;
}
case Working: {
printf("\r\n!Working!\r\n");
Go_To_Sleep = Sleeping;
break;
}
}
}
}
|
Restart WDT as needed..

Thank you PrinceNai, your code worked for me
| Code: | #fuses HS,WDT128,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)
#define Working 1
#define Sleeping 2
int8 Go_To_Sleep = Working;
main() {
setup_wdt(WDT_ON);
restart_wdt();
while(true){
switch (Go_To_Sleep) {
case Sleeping: {
printf("\r\nSleeping!\r\n");
sleep();
Go_To_Sleep = Working;
break;
}
case Working: {
printf("\r\n!Working!\r\n");
Go_To_Sleep = Sleeping;
break;
}
}
}
