Appendix A: Watch Dog Timer The working algorithm of the WDT function can be simply described as a counting process. The Time-Out Interval can be set through software programming. The availability of time-out interval is set by software. The System Board allows users control WDT through dynamic software programming. The WDT starts counting when it is activated.

Appendix B: GPIO The System Board provides 4 dedicated output ports and 4 programmable I/O ports that can be individually configured to perform a simple I/O function. Users can configure 4 programmable I/O ports to become an input or output port by programming register bit of I/O Selection .To invert port value, the setting of Inversion Register has to be made .
