4.11 Watchdog Timer

The COMX-CAR-210 provides a watchdog timer (WDT), which is a combination of two
watchdog timers coming from the COM Express connector and Super I/O.

A valid WDT output signal resets the COMX-CAR-210. The BIOS disables the boot device
(software is enabled when watchdog application loads). The WDT is disabled before enterting
S3 state, and re-enabled upon exiting S3.

4.12 Real Time Clock (RTC)

There is an onboard battery holder. The battery holder allows for the quick and easy
replacement of a 3 V button cell lithium battery which provides backup power to the onboard
RTC.
