External watchdog on 52233

[neil]

Hi Mark,
  I am planning to use the 52233 for  a project and wish to use an external watchdog chip. I am planning to connect the input pulse pin from the pin that is toggled during watchog task. But during bootloader, will is there a similar output pin set up to toggle?

Regards
Neil

Hi Neil

The boot loader doesn't control any outputs.

If the watchdog timeout is shorter than the maximum boot loader time you could add a port toggle in routines such as when FLASH is erased and/or when Flash is programmed. The programming generally takes place in blocks and so each block write may be a good place to add this.

Regards

Mark
