Watchdog

[MikeyH]

Hi Team,

How does the watchdog work on the Monarco Hat? Is it automated or something we have to enable?

Cheers

Hi Mike,

the watchdog for process data channel (PDC) is automated. Default timeout is 100 ms and can be set via Service channel (for more reference see: https://github.com/monarco/monarco-hat-documentation/blob/master/Monarco_HAT_SPI_Protocol.md#service-channel-register-description).

Hope it helps.

Cheers, Tomas

Hi Mike,
this is just to let you know that new firmware for Monarco HAT (v2.008) is available, which implements a watchdog to power cycle the Raspberry Pi. See https://github.com/monarco/monarco-hat-firmware-bin for details.

Cheers,
Jaroslav

Hi Jaroslav,

That’s awesome, I will try this out during the week.

I’ll let you now how it goes.

Cheers

Mike
