Watchdog can't be disable?

I call this function : GHI.Premium.Hardware.LowLevel.Watchdog.Disable();
throw NotSupportedException
Why?

G120, version 4.2.11.2

I believe that once a watchdog timer has been started it can not be stopped. Stopping is not supported. it used to be referenced in release notes.

Normally, you would not want to stop a watchdog.

Depends on the implementation, but for good implementations this is usually true.

If you really want to disable it check MCU datasheet. You should be able to do that by manipulating the correct register directly.

public static void Main()
{
GHI.Premium.Hardware.LowLevel.Watchdog.Enable(1000*15);
…

 const int interval = 1000 * 5;
 while (true)
{
    ....

     GHI.Premium.Hardware.LowLevel.Watchdog.ResetCounter();
     Thread.Sleep(interval);
}

}

another thread:
private static void UpdateFireware()
{
SystemUpdate.Initialize(/SystemUpdate.SystemUpdateType.Config |
SystemUpdate.SystemUpdateType.Firmware |/
SystemUpdate.SystemUpdateType.Deployment);

   byte[] data = MicorServiceWrapper.GetFireware("E3000");

  SystemUpdate.Load(SystemUpdate.SystemUpdateType.Deployment, data, data.Length);

  GHI.Premium.Hardware.LowLevel.Watchdog.Disable();
   SystemUpdate.FlashAndReset();

}

I think the hardware does not support disable. Which is normal for many micros
