Select the timeout value for the POST watchdog.

The watchdog is only active during the power-on-
self-test of the system and provides a facility to
prevent errors during boot up by performing a reset.

Runtime Watchdog

Disabled

One time trigger

Selects the operating mode of the runtime watchdog.

This watchdog will be initialized just before the
operating system starts booting.

If set to 'One time trigger' the watchdog will be
disabled after the first trigger.

If set to 'Single event', every stage will be executed
only once, then the watchdog will be disabled.

If set to 'Repeated event' the last stage will be
executed repeatedly until a reset occurs.

becomes active. This ensures that an operating
