WARNING
In most onboard applications it is recommended to have Stat_mux_out(4) pulled low by default in order to enable the watchdog timers on reset.
WARNING
When the watchdog timers are not enabled the SpaceWire and external ports can block indefinitely if, for example, a source stops sending data in the middle of a packet. If watchdog timers are not enabled then it must be possible for a network manager to detect blocking situations and to reset the router or node creating the problem.
WARNING
If the link that is being used to configure the router is disabled then it will not be possible to configure the router, unless there is another not disabled connection that can be used.
WARNING
Blocking Allowed mode is not recommended and should be used with caution.
When Blocking Allowed mode is used (Watchdog timers disabled) then it is important that provision is made for a network manager to detect blocking situations and to reset the nodes or routers causing the problem.
