9 years agoPppffff!!! you'r joking right? altera does not care for single ****roaches like us. they support only the big boys with tens of thousands of $$$ IC purchase. you have to register as their loyal customer company and only then, they will attach you to one of their support teams. this "ALTERA, please respond!" was a funniest thing i have ever seen on this forum. HELLO! THEY DON"T CARE!
you need to set your project to dual configuration in order to use a watchdog because if one conf image is errorous; and fails to load; -watchdog timer will count up to a certain value(set by you) and it will autorestart the system to try reconfiguring from a neighboring conf image. thus, preventing the max10 to stall even if you loaded a wrong conf image (because it will self - reconfigure from a backup image). it would take you to open up a very big company to get this answer from them :) -or! it would take you to open up a MAX 10 FPGA User Guide documentation and read the page 482 headlined "User Watchdog Timer" https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/max-10/m10_handbook.pdf
