3-8 Watchdog Timer Configuration
The Watch-dog Timer has a programmable time-out ranging from 1 to 255 minutes with one minute
resolution, or 1 to 255 seconds with 1 second resolution. The units of the WDT timeout value are
selected via bit[7] of the WDT_TIMEOUT register, which is located on I/O Port address 0x865h. The
WDT time-out value is set through the WDT_VAL Runtime register, which is located on I/O Port
address 0x866h. Setting the WDT_VAL register to 0x00 disables the WDT function Setting the
WDT_VAL to any other non-zero value will cause the WDT to reload and begin counting down from the
value loaded. Setting the Register located on I/O address 0x867h and 0x868h as 00h to finish timer
configuration.
