Programmer’s Reference

4.28Watchdog

The PrimeCell Watchdog module is an AMBA compliant SoC peripheral developed, tested and licensed by ARM Limited. The Watchdog module consists of a 32-bit down counter with a programmable timeout interval that has the capability to generate an interrupt and a reset signal on timing out. It is intended to be used to apply a reset to a system in the event of a software failure.

Note

The Watchdog counter is disabled if the core is in debug state.
