Forum Post: c6654 timers keep running when core halted

Hi,

When debugging on the c6654, the watchdog timer (and all other timers) keep running when the core is halted.  For the c6657 all cores needed to be halted for the timers to stop running, but  the c6654 only has one core so the timers should stop when it does.  I double checked and the FREE and SOFT bits for the timers are zero, so I'm at a loss at what else it could be.  Any insight into what could cause this behavior would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
