Appendix A. Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is a device to ensure that standalone
systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that
cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by
external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working
normally, hardware on the board will perform hardware reset
(cold boot) to bring the system back to a known state.
Three I/O ports control the Watchdog Timer.
