Watchdog on nRF?

cchoi22915 I’ll try to do a live session on this. It’s straight forward though, especially on the nRF52/91

void app_watchdog_feed()

}

First you set it up and then you feed it on whatever interval. That WDT_MAX_WINDOW sets the timeout in milliseconds. Make sure that wdt0 in your device overlay is set to status = "okay";

Oh and if you didn’t figure it out already make sure you set your .conf file to enable:

# Watchdog
CONFIG_WATCHDOG=y

Hi jaredwolff

I’m trying to get the WDT running on our custom NRF52840 PCB, Did get the C code to compile but I need the watchdog.h file. Where can I get this or am I missing something
