Appendix A : Watchdog Timer Setting

A.1 Watchdog Timer Working Procedure
Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a special hardware device that monitors the computer
system during normal operation. WDT has a clock circuit that times down from a
set number to zero. If a monitored item occurs before the timer reaches zero, WDT
resets and counts down again. If for some reason the monitored item doesn' t
occur before the timer reaches zero, WDT performs an action, such as a diagnos-
tic operation (rebooting the computer).
You must enter timer values into WDT Configuration Register (Write the control
value to the Configuration Port), and clear WDT counter (read the Configuration
Port).
