stuck in ResetHandler when activating Independant Watchdog

[alex31]

Hi,

When i enable Independant Watchdog via IWDG_Enable(),
if there is watchdog reset because of watchdog timer reaching 0,
reset occurs fine.

but if for some reasons, i fall in _unhandled_exception, the mcu remains stuck in
ResetHandler () at ../../ChibiOS/os/ports/GCC/ARMCMx/crt0.c:267

NRST pin has no more action, and only way to restart mcu is to unplug/plug it.

that does not occurs if IWDG is not activated, in this case, when in _unhandled_exception
if i use NRST pin, ResetHandler is called and it call main and mcu restart without the need
to unplug/plug it.

Is there a way to use Independant Watchdog without this behaviour ?

It is the normal behavior, if the CPU goes in unhandled exceptions the watchdog triggers a reset after a while, the system restarts and then it goes in exception again and again.

You must remove the cause of the exception. If the exception is "normal" for you then you may redefine _unhandled_exception in your code (it is a weak symbol) and reset the WDG inside there.

It was entirely my fault, there was fault condition in the branch of the code executed only when
recovering from watchdog reset.

sorry for disturbing.
