B: Watchdog Timer (WDT) Setting

WDT is widely used for industry application to monitor the activity of CPU.

Application software depends on its requirement to trigger WDT with adequate timer setting. Before WDT time out, the functional normal system will reload the WDT. The WDT never time out for a normal system. The WDT will not be reloaded by an abnormal system, then WDT will time out and auto-reset the system to avoid abnormal operation.

This computer supports 255 levels watchdog timer by software programming

I/O ports.

Below is an assembly program example to disable and load WDT.

Sample Codes:

/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <math.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <dos.h> int sioIndex = 0x4E; int sioData = 0x4F;
