Watchdog Timer
This feature is implemented in the AMD Geode CS5536 Companion Device. You can configure the 
Watchdog Timer (WDT) from the BIOS setup to start after a set amount of time after power-on boot. The 
application software should strobe the WDT to prevent its timeout. Upon timeout, the WDT resets and 
restarts the system. This provides a way to recover from program crashes or lockups. 
Configuration
Timer 1 has a range of 0 to 30 minutes and triggers NMI.
Timer 2 has a range of 0 to 30 minutes and triggers Reset.
The range of both timers by using JIDA32 is 0 to 65535 seconds.
Contact Kontron for information on programming and operating the WDT.
