A.1 Watchdog Timer (WDT) Function Reference

This appendix describes the usage of the watchdog timer (WDT)
function library for the MXC-4000 controller. The watchdog timer is
a hardware mechanism to reset the system in case the operating
system or an application halts. After starting watchdog timer, you
need to periodically reset the watchdog timer in the application
before the timer expires. Once watchdog timer expires, a hard-
ware-generated signal is sent to reset the system.
To use the WDT function library with the MXC-4000 series, you
need to include the header file WDT.h and linkage library WDT.lib
in your C++ project.
