MCC Melody Deadman Timer Driver

Overview

The Deadman Timer (DMT) module is designed to enable users to monitor the health of their application software by requiring periodic timer interrupts within a user-specified timing window. DMT is a synchronous counter and when enabled, counts instruction fetches, and is able to cause a soft trap if the DMT counter is not cleared within a set number of instructions.

Features

• DMT can be enabled or disabled by the user, by default it is disabled.
• Option to configure DMT on Hardware or Software.
• Options to configure DMT Fetch Counter and DMT Window interval.
