GPIO and Watchdog Overview AR-B5800A provides both a GPIO interface and a Watchdog timer. Users can use the GPIO and Watchdog APIs to configure and to access the GPIO interface and the Watchdog timer. The GPIO has eight ports. Users can configure each pin as input or output respectively. The Watchdog timer can be set to 1~255 seconds.
