  • Page 29: Appendix A. Watch-Dog Timer

    Appendix A. Watch-Dog Timer The Watch-Dog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that caused the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly, hardware on the board will either perform a hardware reset (cold boot) or a non- maskable interrupt (NMI) to bring the system back to a known state.
  • Page 30 be very time consuming. Therefore if the time out period has been set to 10 seconds, the I/O port 443H must be read within 7 seconds. Note: when exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watch-Dog Timer, otherwise the system will reset.
