HOW TO USE WATCH-DOG TIMER
You could enable the watch-dog for when your application software monitors an
unexpected or not respond event, then the hardware timer generates a reset to reboot
your system. The watch-dog timer period (from enable to reset) was decided by the
jumper setting of the watch-dog time out period. Please refer the chapter of jumper
settings and connectors. During the period of enable to reset, you could still cancel
reset bt disabling the watch-dog.
EX.1: For DOS
Execute the DEBUG.EXE file under DOS, Then key-in i443. The system will reboot
automatically according to the time-out you set.
