A.1 Watchdog Timer (WDT) Function Reference
This appendix describes the usage of the watchdog timer (WDT)
function library for the MXC-2002/2011/2002D/2011D controller.
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 hardware-generated signal is sent to reset the system.
To use the WDT function library for MXC-2000 series, you need to
include the header file WDT.h and linkage library WDT.lib in your
C++ project.
